TEACHING WRITING FOR ADULT LEARNERS

Abstract

These practices include setting clear goals for writing; encouraging students to help each other plan, draft, or revise; using self-assessment; and providing feedback on progress. Adults who want to learn how to read and write can start by finding resources such as adult literacy programs, online courses, or self-study materials. These resources can provide structured lessons and practice exercises to help build reading and writing skills. By the mid-20th century, three major adult learning techniques or theories have emerged: andragogy, self-directed learning, and transformative learning. These methodologies are firmly lodged in the humanistic approach to learning, which emphasizes personal growth and development as the key focus of education. Great adult teachers can not only teach well, but they inspire their students. They get their learners interested in the subject. As a result, they take the effort to learn from them. They don't disregard what they say and take every additional comment and thought into.
