5. Delegation of responsibilities as a class<\/h2>\n
To increase engagement in class, the students should be made responsible towards various activities. For example, the students should be encouraged to ask questions and initiate discussions or debates, along with this the class should be made responsible to critique or discuss the idea of the student.<\/p>\n
They should also be made responsible to maintain discipline in class, by maintaining silence when\u00a0 the teacher is not in class, or refraining from giving chorus answers. Instead, students should be encouraged to raise their hand if they want to communicate with the class.<\/p>\n
When students are determined to be good, they will more likely accept these guidelines without hesitation right from the beginning.<\/p>\n

6. Listening and maintaining eye contact<\/h2>\n
Teachers need to understand that when conducting an interactive session it is very important to maintain eye contact and listen to the student patiently. Maintaining eye contact assures the student that they are being heard. There may be misunderstandings among students if you interrupt them unnecessarily.<\/p>\n
The teachers should make sure that the students fully voice out their opinions and thoughts and teachers can then explain further once the students are done expressing themselves.<\/p>\n

7. Request for Suggestions<\/h2>\n
Research has\u00a0 demonstrated that students don\u2019t appreciate when their ideas or answers are rejected and hence they are called out in front of the whole class. This tends to make the students shy and introverted therefore they are less likely to participate in class discussions in future, instead teachers should ask the students to submit anonymous suggestions.<\/p>\n
The teacher can either read out all the feedback in the class or decide to implement only certain feedback which may benefit the whole class.<\/p>\n
These suggestions help the teachers to understand certain problems that they may have not recognised earlier. These suggestions can help the teachers change their teaching method if necessary.<\/p>\n
The feedback may also point out certain teaching patterns that the students may have really enjoyed. These feedback are great eye openers to the students as well as the teachers and will encourage open discussions in class.<\/p>\n

8. Appropriate changes in Teaching Methods<\/h2>\n
One of the prime reasons why students lose interest during class is repetitive teaching styles and methodology. Therefore at most leading schools in Dubai, regular training seminars and sessions are held for the teachers so that they can\u00a0learn about the new teaching methods\u00a0which will in turn help them to conduct classes more efficiently and help increase the students\u2019 attention span and interest.<\/p>\n
Experimenting new teaching methods combined with students’ anonymous feedback can help teachers gain insights on the teaching patterns and the students can benefit from the new teaching methods. Experimenting with teaching methods builds curiosity in the students and therefore prevents them from boredom. New methods create interests in the students, excite them and keep them active in class.<\/p>\n
