A while back a professor wrote to this group asking how he could make a
seemingly boring grammar book, the name I will not repeat, more interesting for
his uninterested students. Someone answered back something along the line
that it is hard to interest the uninterested. It is haunting me that I
never answered my opinion on the issue.
One of the most important things taught during a teaching credential
program is that it is the teacher/professor's responsibility to make the
material interesting. I would recommend taking an interactive approaches
class. Learn different strategies and methods to get the students up,
working together, and getting to know each other. Do you know how many
adults watch and enjoy games? They play on baseball teams, watch Wheel of
Fortune, Jeopardy, they sing in the church choir, etc. Make it fun!
Their interest will follow.
