TEFL Course-How to Teach Adults

        Advanced TEFL courses are aimed at middle and high school students as well as adults, and learning your first language is not a conscious decision. As a baby, you are exposed to languages from a variety of different sources, and you are able to acquire language skills in your native language without much effort, on the other hand, as an adult, learning a language requires a lot of Think, pay attention and give.

        If you've ever tried to learn a foreign language after the age of 16, you know what we're talking about when we say it's not as easy as it seems. While it is by no means impossible to learn another language when you grow up, and in fact most adult learners are very successful, it does mean that the learning process is more difficult and requires more effort.

        As a baby, the parts of your brain involved in learning language are the same as those used for motor control, but adults use the parts of the brain responsible for higher cognitive functions when processing foreign languages. In other words, as an infant, learning a language is indeed a natural process, but as an adult, it is an intellectual exploration that requires conscious thought.

        What does this mean for the TEFL adult English classroom?

        When teaching English as a foreign language to adults, remember that it is not an easy process. Remember what makes adult learners different from younger learners Remember these points about how adults learn:

        Listening is an integral part of the learning process.

        Adults can use complex grammar rules to create new languages.

        It is important to allow time to process new information.

        Motivational frustration can become a barrier to learning.

        Previous learning experience and knowledge can be helpful or hindered.

        On the other hand, there are many benefits to teaching adults. Adults are able to participate in the classroom and bring their life experiences. They have ideas and perspectives and are generally not shy about sharing. In this way, TEFL teachers can give their adult students a degree of control over the curriculum and their learning. They enjoy talking to each other and are able to handle complex activities in the classroom.

        Of course, teaching English as a foreign language has benefits and challenges for anyone of any age. Take TEFL, it will make your teaching process easier.
