ESL Tips: The SECRET to teaching ADULT students | Answer the Question: “What’s in it for ME?”

In my 8-year experience in teaching adults, I realized that one question that must influence our teaching decisions and techniques would be the question: “WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?”. Me as in the student! By human nature, adults like you and I are selfish and selfless beings. We can be selfless when we sacrifice for our loved ones and selfish when our actions are motivated by our personal interests.
⚠️ “I want to be good at my job”
⚠️ “I want to get promoted”
⚠️ “I want to get a salary raise”
⚠️ “I want a house”

I I I, many of our motivators and decisions in life involve ourselves and the BENEFIT they have. Thus, these are the tips I have for you to be a better teacher to adult students:

1. Be relevant
2. Make the topic relatable
3. Give Substantive Feedback
4. Provide Knowledge Extension
5. Motivate & Appreciate ♥️
6. Make learning fun ♥️
7. Encourage questions

I've been teaching adults for couple of years now and sometimes It's really challenging, you are always thinking if they were really learning with your styles in teaching. Happy teaching☺

[ninettebalatian]

Thank you for this Teacha! I really learned a lot from your videos. Teaching adults is really challenging for me😭 I actually have regular adult students. And I have this regular adult student that I don't know if he really learned something from our classes hahaha we always do freetalk and I just let him talk and I only talk after him. That's just the cycle of our classes. My question is, am I doing the right thing? or do I need to do something? Because after the class I always have this thought that, 'Why does he keeps on coming back if he does not learn anything from me?'
