How To Approach Teaching An Adult by Newusername(m): 7:58am On Aug 02, 2023
Good morning everyone.
So has the topic clearly states, how do I go about teaching an adult? The person wants to know how to read and spell. I also need a kind of curriculum or roadmap I can use to achieve the goal.

Experienced Educationist and those that have experienced in teaching adults, your inputs will be greatly considered. Thank you.

I have no choice. Man need to survive especially with the increment in our school fees, anything that can be done legitimately to provide must be done.

This might be a little bit helpful.
Consider these approach:

1. Relevance: Connect the material to real-life situations, as adults often prefer practical applications.

2. Respect their experience: Acknowledge their existing knowledge and experiences, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

3. Self-directed learning: Allow adults to set goals and take ownership of their learning journey.

4. Active learning: Incorporate discussions, group activities, and hands-on experiences to engage participants actively.

5. Flexibility: Offer diverse learning methods to accommodate different learning styles and preferences.

6. Immediate feedback: Provide timely feedback to reinforce learning and address any misconceptions.

7. Encourage questions: Create a safe space for questions and open dialogue, promoting deeper understanding.

8. Use multimedia: Utilize visual aids, videos, and interactive content to enhance retention.

9. Time management: Respect their time commitments by offering flexible scheduling options and efficient sessions.

10. Relate to prior knowledge: Relate new concepts to their existing knowledge base to facilitate understanding.

Try these approach and thank me later.
