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

    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?'

Also, first time to teach English, though I already had listening, reading, and writing with the kids, this one is different. I'm not good at talking to adults, also, I get easily nervous when I'm talking or when I'm with parents. 😅 Anyway, Thank you so much for sharing this video po, Teacher Karen!

    Great video! Question, how much of the grammar should you teach adults who just want to learn English on a conversational level? Like do you teach them tenses, irregular verbs or stuff like that? Cause I always thought it was unnecessary to teach that to adults but then how would you teach them to communicate correctly?

  • @TeachaKaren

    2 жыл бұрын

    Great point and great question teacha! Actually, I agree with you, there are pointless grammar rules that are not "THAT necessary" which can just confuse ESL learners. So what I do is I just focus on WHAT THEY NEED TO KNOW... I discuss grammar points based on their errors... I give the correction, explain by expounding on the grammar point then allow them to try and make sentences on their own.

    Unfortunately, absences authorize the company to lock your slots for their safety as they get complaints from their students and actually lose students due to tutor absences. That happened to me, I forgot I had a class, and my slots were locked afterwards. Some TMs also refuse to respond when tutors show attendance problems

    Not really based on the demo, but based on your overall performance in the next 3-9 months. I got 2 salary increases for great (not good) performance and perfect attendance in 1 year :) You cannot change you TM but you can send a feedback by clicking on the feedback icon on the left bottom part of Tutorclient so that your concern may be heard by Acadsoc.
