EducationStudent Engagement & Participation4HighTeacher$ implied
ESL trainer struggles to engage Gen Z students (17-20 year olds) who show cognitive surrender, refusing challenging work and switching off after minimal effort, leaving lessons ineffective.
Existing teaching materials and methods fail to sustain Gen Z student attention; they disengage quickly from both traditional structures and gamified approaches, and no tool helps monitor or adapt engagement in real time.
