Different education styles for adults.

Post by Meggie » Fri Dec 12, 2008 7:42 am

What kinds of education is fit to adults? It depends on the person himself.
first , i think all the adults have the ability to self-study at home. Our world is open enough to get every kind of imformition you want on the Internet. There are books, materials, advanced ideas, and different opinons. You can learn more. Second, if you are not a peson who can study all by his own, you can take a course or find a partner to study with. you can share differnt studying feelings and you can help each other. Third, i would like to mention. take it easy. Don't be afraid of spending time. every kind of study takes time.

I agree with you on this. Sometime I find it hard to do certian assignment. Now I like to discuss with my my friends before setting down to my work. In this way i benifit a lot from "spending time".

Become who you are - in English!

I always suggest that students focus on what they want to learn and enjoy. If you like fashion, read fashion magazines in English. Watch the movies you like in English. Listen to your favorite books - in English - on audiotapes. Be true to yourself while studying this crazy, confusing, and misspelled language.

You have to find what works for you. Sometimes students learn best in small groups, sometimes alone, and sometimes by watching television and YouTube.

Good luck.

Remember. As the Belgian proverb goes, "we all learn by stumbling."

As it is said in last reply post. we are what we learn.
I am used to learning L2 in my own way. But I found it a bit slow to improve myself. Now since I joined different forums in learning and teaching L2, expericnced teachers and experts shared their teaching
and learning ways. I have made good use of them .so we are what we learn
