TELC 2013 Adult Learners

3 Credit Hour(s)

This course focuses on adult learners and the adult learning process-how they learn best and the classroom format that best relates. A better understanding of adult learners will help teachers plan and implement appropriate lessons, activities, lectures, assignments and teaching strategies. Issues relevant to adult learning theories, classroom motivation, learning issues and the ‘best practice’ learning techniques will be examined. Additionally, variables in the instructional process are explored. Students should be able to apply their knowledge in a variety of educational settings with a multicultural perspective.
