| description | Teaching adult learners in ESL classes can pose a challenge as they are very
diverse in age, educational background, and employment history. They may
also vary in term of interest and background knowledge. Some may have
limited proficiency in English and be unable to read or write in the
language; others may have college degrees and speak fluently in the
language. They have very diverse experiences, especially related to the
learning of English grammar. As such language instructors may face
challenge in determining the grammar our adult learners need and the characteristics
of language that affect the selection of grammar to teach. This
paper explores what are the factors to be taken into consideration by instructors
in designing lessons that will cater to the needs of adult learners. |
