Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of innovative ESL teaching strategies tailored specifically for teenage learners, focusing on the integration of digital tools and culturally relevant materials. Participants aged 13 to 19 were subjected to a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative assessments of language skills and qualitative feedback through interviews and focus groups. Results indicated significant improvements in both test scores and student engagement, highlighting the crucial role of adapting educational strategies to the developmental needs and interests of teenagers. The research confirms that interactive and relevant teaching approaches can profoundly enhance learning outcomes in ESL contexts.
