I have been an English teacher in different levels. I have taught both High school and University students. However, I have faced many problems when teaching English in Junior High school. The reasons may be because of the different factors that influence students at this stage. Ellis, (2003) mentions that “the ways in which learners differ are potentially infinite as they reflect the whole range of variables related to the cognitive, affective, and social aspects of a human being” (p. 35). He names those factors as “immutable”, those that are fixed such as age and “mutable” those that are variable such as motivation (ibid). Those two factors are relevant to consider when teaching English in Junior High school. On one hand, Brown (2001) states that teenagers live a stage of “transition, confusion, self-consciousness, growing, and changing bodies and minds” (p. 65). Due to the different changes in this stage of transitions, students might be affected physically, psychologically or affectively. For this reason, Junior High school students may experience negative attitudes or lack of motivation."pdfengHUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTAAdolescentes--Conducta sexualOrientación educativaTesis de licenciaturaInglés -- Estudio y enseñanza (Secundaria)--MexicoEducación secundaria--EnseñanzaIdentidad colectiva--Estudiantes de escuelas secundariasAdolescentes--Conducta de vidaMotivación en la educaciónopenAccess
