Adults learn by being with people who are enthusiastic about learning. A critical factor influencing successful learning is the relationship between learners and tutors. The use of learner-centred materials will ensure that the information is meaningful to the learner and that he will use it. Adults have a lot of knowledge and life experience. They just have to learn the printed symbols for the words and concepts they already know.
Adults learn best if they are actively involved in making decisions about their learning.
Adults do not want to spend time going over what they already know. Find out what they do not know and fill in those gaps. They must have a need to learn something before they will bother to learn and remember it. Find out what they need to learn and make it a goal to reach. We must teach information that will help a learners reach his goals.
