The role of English as an international language (EIL) has prompted scholars to call for a shift in paradigm from teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) to teaching English as an international language EIL (Boriboon 2011; Jenkins 2007; Kirkpatrick 2010; McKay 2002; McKay and Bokhorst-Heng 2008). While this view seems practical at a time when English is increasingly being used as a lingua franca, it also calls for a study of people’s perceptions toward different English varieties since people’s attitudes can have a direct impact on educational practices, second-language learning, and identity construction of English speakers. This present study investigates language attitudes of 80 Thai working adults toward native (American and British) and nonnative (Filipino, Singaporean, and Thai) varieties in terms of social status and competence, attractiveness, and linguistic quality through the use of the Verbal Guise Test (VGT) (80 participants) and semistructured interviews (10 participants). The results showed that the dominance of native varieties still prevails as native varieties are perceived more favorably than non-native counterparts in all dimensions, and remain the English accents that Thai speakers of English want to learn and use. The results also indicate that Thai speakers of English aim for certain native-based varieties due to intelligibility, the ownership of English, and identity reasons. Findings suggest the importance of awareness-raising of the diversity of English varieties among Thai speakers of English in order to promote a sense of linguistic tolerance and prepare them for interactions in ELF contexts where English is used as a default language for those whose native language is not shared.

Digital literacy for adults has developed into an important dimension of ICT-related policies worldwide. Although research argues that adults need digital skills, limited evidence has been directed to digital literacy teaching approaches for adults and the associated pedagogy. The study explores which core features of effective adult learning were addressed within the context of digital literacy courses offered by the State Institutes of Further Education (SIFE) in Cyprus. Semi-structured interviews conducted with two groups of Greek-Cypriot adults enrolled in these courses indicate that while certain aspects of adult learning, e.g., optimal climate for learning, other principles related to the consideration of learners’ needs and input in the development of learning contracts were limited in effect. Since this can mainly be attributed to the nature of the courses which were designed from top-down and remained openly ECDL exam-oriented with pre-fixed content, repercussions are drawn with regards to alternative paths to adult digital literacy, organized on the basis of learners’ expectations, profiles and needs.

This paper aims to address foreign language and Italian respectively of the adult classes. Teaching in classes with adults is radically different from teaching in classrooms with children and teenage, this occur because students typology to teach is quite another. Teaching adults is a topic which is not studied enough because the teaching for this age group is often taken for granted. So, while teaching children and adolescents we can find countless of studies that adults age does not enjoy this privilege. The branch that deals with the study of teaching adults is Andragogy. Teaching adults depends on many factors, as an adult that has a formative his own bag round which certainly we cannot overlook. Adults also need to be clarified about the objectives of teaching, because they need to know the values that will have the information that they would take in a certain course. In a language class with adults it has a great importance the role of teacher too. He is not the pedagogical teacher but andragogic hence its formation must be such that it should recognize quite well each method, technique of teaching adults. Our paper aims to provide also a didactic unit in order to provide a practical approach to language teaching, near adult classes taking into account the psychology age their requirements and their needs

The understanding of the motivational orientations of adults with complex reasons participating in learning activities is a base for church leaders and directors of Christian education to plan educational programs that meet their needs as adult learners. Knowing their motivation helps determine the curriculum, methods of teaching, and the available resources, leading to success in reaching the desired goals for the members and the church. This paper investigates adults’ voluntary participation in congregationally sponsored Christian education programs among Episcopal churches in Southern California. Adaptation of the education participation scale (EPS) (Boshier, 1991) was used to measure the adult’s motivation to participate.

This study is devoted to the consideration of the issues of teaching English to adult learners. It is noted that teaching English to adults today is in great demand, due to the world integration aspira-tions of our country, which cannot be realized when the majority of the population does not have foreign language speech skills and abilities for free partici-pation in international communication. However, adult education differs significantly from the specif-ics of teaching a foreign language to schoolchildren and students, which provokes a number of prob-lems. These problems impede the acquisition of English by adults, which, as a rule, they need for professional activities that involve the implementa-tion of foreign language communication. The analy-sis carried out in this study helped to identify the problems that need to be overcome to build an ef-fective system of teaching English to adults. In addi-tion, a number of psychological and pedagogical conditions that contribute to the effective teaching of the English language to adults and the formation of their foreign language communicative compe-tence were formulated.

The argument that adults deserve to be treated differently in the teaching/learning milieu has been brought to the forefront by many researchers and adult educators, spearheaded by Malcolm Knowles’ notion of andragogy. Knowles asserted that adults require certain conditions to learn. Generally, literature has also supported the idea that teaching adults should be approached differently from that of adolescents. There are several adult education programs in the Lagos State of Nigeria. This study examined the level of awareness of, and factors that affect the use of andragogical principles in these programs; facilitators and learners’ perception of their roles in teaching/learning, as well as method used. Some 361 participants from six different Adult Education programs and 132 facilitators were used for the study. Interviews and Sit-in-observations, together with the questionnaire, were used to gather data. Chi-squared statistical analysis revealed that facilitators were mostly aware of, but did not make use of andragogical principles in helping adults to learn due to several factors. Suggestions made for improvement include that appropriate training for adult educators be encouraged, as well as expanded use of technology to facilitate adult learning towards national development.

This article highlights issues of formation a motivation to learn foreign languages in adult students. The teaching practice shows that working with students of different ages has its own distinctive features, and teaching adults has its own specifics. This article considers such element of educational activity as motivation, and particularities of its formation namely in adults. It presents the basic learning needs of adults, their requirements for the pedagogical process, as well as possible difficulties in teaching them. It provides the list of conditions and principles necessary for successful development and maintenance of adult students’ motivation. The article suggests such method as correspondence with native speakers of a foreign language. It describes the conduct of experimental training using the proposed method, which is supported by the results of a survey to identify the level of adult students’ motivation.

This article reports the results of a study designed to determine whether the teachings of Confucius (liberal and behavioral teaching approaches) or Western teaching approaches (humanistic, progressive, radical and analytic teaching approaches) shaped adult education in Taiwan. Thirty-nine randomly selected adult educators from three premium universities in Taipei responded to a survey about their teaching practices. The same adult educators were also interviewed to cross-validate the quantitative findings. Study results indicated that, while the Taiwanese adult educators employed Western teaching approaches to some extent, they clung dearly to Confucian methods of instruction, a finding that was consistent with reports in the literature of adult education in Taiwan.

Nowadays, audiovisual media technologies and audiovisual content (audiovisual media communications) play an important role in our physical/psychological health, education, and lifelong learning, causing the redefinition of the teaching methodology. As presented in the literature, the use of audiovisual media communications presuppose a new way of approaching effective teaching, which requires the educators on all educational levels and disciplines to display with competence many advanced skills and abilities. The aim of this research is to provide data that will contribute to the effective teaching utilizing audiovisual media communications in adult education. This research is a secondary research from two researches, which are qualitative and based on a quantitative method of analyzing. The primary data were collected through experiment method from adults (18 years and older), in Cyprus and Greece. The results confirm the current debate of using audiovisual media technologies within the educational process in technology-enhanced learning in education, both from the literature, and from the findings and results of various researches. This research is part of a larger, ongoing research that explores the multidisciplinary field that incorporates media, audiovisual content, and education (MACE), information and communications technologies (ICTs) in adult education (in Greece and Cyprus).

Students in today’s college classroom are diverse in age and work, leadership, and life experiences; hence, students transitioning into adulthood may understand and relate core leadership knowledge to their own experiences differently than mature adults. As such, we call upon andragogy, a theory of adult learning, to inform our approach to teaching leadership. We employ andragogy and its six assumptions (the learners’ self-concept, the role of experience, readiness to learn, orientation to learning, motivation, and the need to know) as a guiding framework for the selection and development of leadership instructional tools, thus creating an individualized learning experience for emerging and full-fledged adults that bridges the leadership theory and practice gap. We offer examples of leadership instructional tools that align with andragogical assumptions and provide suggestions for scaling these assignments and activities to address students’ learning needs at different stages of adulthood.

Along with a discussion of andragogy, which is the concept that adults learn differently than younger learners, and therefore require different teaching methods, this paper also explores a specific set of exercises, called drama techniques, to increase the effectiveness of adult foreign language teaching and learning that can be employed within the framework of andragogy. Each of Knowles’s assumptions (see Knowles, 1984; Merriam, Caffarella, & Baumgartner, 2007), which form the basis for the andragogy concept, will be analyzed in conjunction with specific drama techniques. Through this exposition it will be shown that drama techniques are effective tools for implementing the andragogical approach to adult foreign language teaching.

In the article, the author discusses andragogic features in the system of teaching foreign languages in conditions of continuing education, based on the practice of teaching Spanish to adult learners on courses based on the North-Ossetian State University named after K.L. Khetagurov, in the framework of additional education. In order to eliminate the “incompatibility” which arises in adults after receiving their basic education, many adults are enrolled in various retraining or advanced-level courses to meet the demands of the developing modern world. In addition, the article speaks of the growing popularity of the Spanish language. This is due to changes in political, economic and social life. The article points out some difficulties that arise in the teaching of a foreign language, such as previous experience in the study of a foreign language, social duties, a material component, professional experience and others. The basic requirements for a foreign language course for adults are considered. To maximize the effectiveness of the course, it is recommended to work with such a programme, which takes into account the peculiarities of adult learners. The programme should aim at the quickest possible use of the speaking skills of learners. Also in the work the peculiarities of application of andragogical principles in adult education are indicated. The principle of “cooperation” of the teacher with adult students in the classes affects the quality of the educational process. However, the role of the teacher is important in this context, since he is the head of the training process. Despite the above mentioned difficulties in the adult learning process, motivation can significantly affect the final positive result of mastering the language.

The experiences of adults with learning disabilities who have found success in employment may provide new perspectives about teaching students with learning disabilities. A qualitative research project with 71 successful adults with learning disabilities indicates that their individual achievements share a number of commonalities. Moreover, these commonalities represent skills and processes that can be taught and learned. This article presents a model of vocational success developed from interviews with the 71 subjects. The authors discuss methods so that practitioners may use the model to help students with learning disabilities inculcate behaviors that will facilitate successful adult adjustment. Instructional approaches that teach these skills and processes will embrace a success rather than deficit model, a focus on strengths rather than a preoccupation with weaknesses.

A aprendizagem se realiza quando o ser humano estabelece processos dialéticos de desconstrução, construção, reconstrução de valores e de sua identidade, no desafiador processo de produção de conhecimento em sua trajetória histórica de vida. Este texto objetiva refletir as teorias críticas da educação que estão implícitas nos princípios da Andragogia, teoria que estuda a aprendizagem das pessoas jovens e adultas, estabelecendo relações com estilos de aprendizagem e estratégias utilizadas na percepção e organização das informações. Utiliza o método (auto) biográfico para recolha dos dados, o estudo de caso para sua organização e a técnica de análise de discurso para interpretação das informações produzidas. Assim, acredita-se que a Andragogia pensa o ensino na perspectiva da aprendizagem do educando jovem e adulto, o que evidencia interesses teóricos que, embora em alguns momentos pareçam distintos, ambos defendem a realidade em que precisam se ancorar para o reconhecimento da aprendizagem como processo singular e complexo, imbricada a sua condição material de existência, que possibilita a emancipação do aprendiz, ou seja, a educação para a vida.Palavras-chave: Aprendizagem.

Teorias CríticasReflections on teaching young and adult learners: dialogue among critical theories and andragogyABSTRACTLearning takes place when human beings establish dialectical processes of deconstruction, construction, and reconstruction of values and their identity, in the challenging process of producing knowledge in their life trajectory. This study aims to reflect on the critical theories of education that are implicit in the principles of Andragogy, a theory that studies the learning process of young people and adults, establishing relations with learning styles and strategies used in the perception and organization of information. It uses the (auto) biographical method for data collection, the case study for its organization and discourse analysis to interpret the information produced. Thus, it is believed that Andragogy considers teaching from the perspective of young and adult learners, which highlights theoretical interests that, although at times seem different, both defend the reality in which they need to rely on so as to recognize learning as a singular and complex process, interconnected to its material condition of existence, which allows for the emancipation of the learner, that is, education for life.Keywords: Learning.

This paperpresents an analytical reflection on teacher education in Adult Education. The objective of this study was to analyze and to contextualize the bibliographical productions about this teacher training, delineating the specificities, identities and public policies of teacher trainingin Adult Education, according to the historical and specific needs of teacher education in the Adult Education. In this context, it was observed that it is necessary to reflect critically on the process of teacher training in the Adult Educationand to re-evaluate the possibilities and theintentionalities of this process. It is understood that the formative experiences have to stimulate the development and the reflection about the theories and the teaching methodologies previouslyacquired in the training courses, establishing, that the continuity of the teaching learning is something inherent to the practice of the educational activity.It is necessary to reinforce the debates around the emergence of resolutions that increase the teaching potential in the Education Adults,encouraging the improvement of the training processes in the Adult Education, through effective public policies of professional teacher training in this type of teaching.

The Coping Strategy Inventory Short Form 32 was used to determine typical coping strategies that involve problem-solving, cognitive restructuring, express emotions and social contact. Tests of correlation, however, revealed that all the six stressors areas have a significant positive correlation with problem avoidance, wishful thinking, self-criticism and social withdrawal (p < 0.01). Multiple regression analyses disclosed that older adult men have a greater preponderance to experience stressors than older adult women
Keywords: Older adult professionals, stressors, coping mechanisms, physical-related stressors, health-related stressors, social-related stressors, family-related stressors, occupational stressors, financial stressors.

An attempt was made to replicate a study to evaluate a system used by Kuntz, et al. in 1978 to teach children with mental handicaps to read. The original study was done in a children's hospital training centre with children who had considerable communication difficulties, whereas the present study was undertaken with adults with mental handicaps in an adult training centre. In the UK, adult training centres are currently at the centre of service provision by Social Services for the instruction of adults with mental handicaps, providing both a sheltered workshop and a practical educational situation. Nine out of 33 nonreaders completed the programme so the success rate was well short of that of the original study.

Abstract Factors that influence motivation are split into external and internal. Key peculiarities of adult who learns are found out. A person who studies can trace connection between educational needs and solution of everyday life problems. Basic terms of learning efficiency are: self-orientation and independence. The main principles of adult education are systematized. They are the following: necessity to know, consciousness, willingness to learn, focus on learning, intrinsic motivation, self-orientation, relying on experience, situational, practice-orientation, motivation. The concept “educational technology” is analysed. Educational technology is systematic targeted approach to learning that combines specific teaching methods, educational technology, and takes into account psychological part of the learning process – relationship between learners and those who teach; systemic ways of activities of those who teach and those who study for the effective achievement of learning goals. Principles of educational technology usage are outlined. They are: individualization, creativity, self-motivation, cooperation, activity. The gist of interactive technology is found out. Interactive learning technology is based on the interaction between participiants of training; organization of joint activities based on dialogic teaching methods; a way of organizing learning of adults considering the needs, interests, personal and professional experience. Basic forms and methods of adult’s interactive teaching in the USA are: conversation, discussion, collective solving of creative situations, the method of “round table”, project method, playing techniques, mentorship, coaching – training in small groups, storytelling, method of narrative.

The recent debate on active citizenship and adult education has been strongly underpinned by the discussion on how active citizenship could be exercised in a way that would promote inclusion and participation. The paper focuses on the role of adult educators in encouraging young adults in vulnerable life situations to become active citizens specifically through two empirical cases, from Finland and England (UK). The central questions the paper seeks to answer are: how do adult educators conceptualise vulnerability, and how do they see their role as facilitating young adults' active citizenship through their teaching? The consideration of socio-cultural, socio-economic and political dimensions of active participatory citizenship provides the conceptual lens to explore young adults’ participation in different social contexts. The analysis of the case studies supports the argument that active participatory citizenship is indirectly rather than directly included in the education and training of vulnerable young adults. This leads the article to highlight the adult educators’ mediation work in facilitating the socio-economic and political dimensions of active participatory citizenship in interaction with the students. Their mediator role is broadly invisible and in contrast with the ideal of adult education as the straightforward path to socio-economic citizenship and employability.

This study aims to find out whether the English lecturer study program, in other words, has applied andragogy as teaching to people who have been considered adults. The lecturer uses andragogy as a good guide in conveying a knowledge that is focused on student experience, student needs and related to student personalization. Andragogy is instruction for adults to be more focused on the process and to reduce less on the content taught in learning. This article adopts the instruments of the victor cx wang article published in 2015. These findings indicate that lecturers are more directed towards students who become students-centered which are characterized by group discussions, lecturers only direct through lectures and encourage students to dialogue. This teaching method is in line with teaching andragogy which directs adult students to be independent in learning.

Linguistics and psychological schools of thought had a great influence on language acquisition theories It is still under discussion whether second language acquisition is easy or effortless for adults to learn or not. In non-teaching environments, children can learn their native language quickly, whereas adults cannot. Many researchers believe that adults can quickly acquire a second language due to their high level of cognition clear, logical thinking and strong self-observation skills, while some linguistics researchers consider that it is difficult for adults to develop a second-language acquisition. Therefore, this paper explores to what extent the theories of behavioral and cognitive influence adult acquisition in the second language process. This study considered that these theories have highlighted the difference between the way that children and adults learn to the point that adults appear to “lift the bar” unrealistically when they try to learn an additional language. The novelty of this study is in how the analysis gave a new direction for adult language acquisition theorists to guide adults to mimic children’s way of acquisitioning their first language.

Adult learning and phenomena of stress and trauma are not often connected within scientific entities or integrated into practical teaching. However, adult education theory and multidimensional model of coping - BASIC Ph - have a mutual subject: work with humans. During the process of learning and teaching adults gain insights and self-insights, which often lead to behavioral change and BASIC Ph insists exactly on the fact that humans can learn about coping strategies and therefore can support self-development. Based on comprehensive study on quality of communication with chronically ill children, their families, schools and medical staff, two dissertations and postgraduate pedagogy studies, with different research tasks, have applied the same theoretical concept and brought valuable insights on practical use of BASIC Ph in work with ill children. Thus this paper interprets the results of all three studies from the perspective of adult education and aims to demonstrate the utilization of BASIC Ph model in adult learning and teaching.

Constructivism is a term that takes up more space in social sciences since the second half of the 20th century, although the term itself was coines earlier, specifically in the 1920s when it signified an artistic and architectural movement in the Soviet Union. One assumption of this paper is that the activity is a central function and it is implanted in the concept of constructivism since its creation. This paper offers a brief overview of the development of term constructivism and later explains the basic epistemological assumptions on which constructivist theories are based. What is common to all constructivist theories is proactive cognition, that is, the already mentioned activity, in this case, in the process of making a meaning. Theories of adult education zhat rely on constructivist epistemology are also presented. Finally, the paper explanis the understanding of activity in teaching and the application of the constructivist principle in teaching.

The article considers the lifelong learning as a perspective trend in modern society The main principles of lifelong learning are knowledge of foreign languages, innovative teaching methods and e-learning technologies. Besides that, the article gives the analysis of Russian and foreign works devoted to one of the modern teaching trends ― “flipped learning”. Based on the ideas of flipped learning and the specifics of teaching adult learners, the author has designed an optimal model of online teaching Russian as a foreign language to adults. The parts of the model (stage “Before”, “Online session”, stage “After”) are connected and didactically complement each other. In order to prove the effectiveness of the model, the vertical experiment was conducted. Based on the existing criteria of the optimization of learning process, the author concludes that the designed model is optimal for adult learners and effective for non-formal online language learning.

It should be understood that the importance of adult education is to illuminate the current context in which the adult functions. This adult frames directly linked with the construct of social justice. Adult education is examined under two frames: (a) Merriam and Brockett (1997) who define adult education as “…activities intentionally designed for the purpose of bringing about learning among those whose age, social roles, or self-perception define them as adults” and, (b) Horton’s philosophy developed under the Highlander Folk School. Understanding this correlation of adult education within a social-political phenomena, the nature of adult education may belong to a wide-ranging spectrum of teaching and learning in terms of: (a) media messaging and the rhetoric that may be inculcating adults, ultimately swaying public opinion; (b) adult messaging and totalitarian implications; (c) adult education and the state; (d) knowledge of history; (e) the history of adult education and how it has been instrumental in social justice; and (f) what adult education, inclusive of adult educators, must do to mitigate class hegemony.

The present work considers the development of adult education in Russia from the elimination of illiteracy from the late 19th -early 20th centuries to the use of information and communication technologies at the beginning of the 21st century. The aim of the article is to consider the stages of development of adult education and to determine at the stages of development the most sought-after educational areas and technologies in additional adult education. In this work, differences in the process of teaching children and adults are considered, an excursion is made into the history of the formation of adult education in Russia. A modern picture of additional adult education is given. Based on the studies, the authors conclude that for adults the most sought-after educational field is the study of a foreign language using remote technologies.

A strength-based approach to teaching digital literacies can advance language education for adults from refugee and migrant backgrounds, preparing them for life in a new country. This article draws on a 6-month ethnographic study at an adult English language center in Australia and explores teachers’ perspectives and practices related to teaching digital literacies to understand how prepared they are to employ learners’ own resources. Using sociomaterial theory, this research found that English as an Additional Language (EAL) teachers’ narratives about learners focused on what they lacked rather than what they brought to learning. It also found that while teaching practices utilized some strength-based pedagogical principles, the teachers viewed their work as being deficient. They did not always recognize their agential power nor did they overtly understand that the technology itself afforded this power. The article concludes with implications for EAL practice and professional learning of teachers who work in the adult sector.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to analyse non-native adults’ self-drive and ways that has influenced towards the development of Malay language programme in which the programme caters to their needs, expectations and self-drive in University of Malaya for Continuing Education.
Methodology: This study aims to analyse non-native adults’ self-drive in an informal adult education at a higher learning institution in Malaysia using an action research method comprising 58 non-native adult learners which was implemented from January 2014 to December 2017. The evidence gathered through feedback, observation and continuous assessment.
Findings: The outcome of this study reveals that strong self-drive among non-native adult learners encouraged and increased the effort towards the introduction of a Malay language programme that suits their needs and expectations.
Research Limitations/Implications: It was reported that the development of new Malay programme would have been more successful and benefits more language instructors and academicians. Their involvement would provide more support and critical views in the research in order to validate the formulation of the Malay programme.
Social Implications: The improvement in teaching and learning process undertaken has also accelerated adult learners’ attainment and competency in Malay language. As a result of non-native adult leaners’ excellent attainment has reinforced the Malay language educator to attract and increase the enrolment for continuing education at higher learning institutions that offer Malay programme as lifelong learning programme.
Originality/Value: The study on self-drive among non-native adults and how it has influenced towards the development of a Malay programme that caters to their needs, interests and expectations is still new, and it is a first-hand study of its kind. The results will be useful for those who are involved in adult teaching and in steering Malay as Modern Foreign Language programme at higher education.

In an article which questions the value of adult development theory to adult educators, Courtenay claims that the literature is ambiguous about the goals of development, misguidedly equates normalcy with growth and development with worthiness, and is unacceptably vague in its descriptions of the characteristics of higher stages of development. This article examines and responds to these objections and maintains that constructive developmental models, in particular, provide an important framework for understanding and supporting adults in the process of growth and change that education often engenders. Furthermore, teaching development theory to developing adults offers them a valuable tool for self-discovery which can enhance and encourage their journey of transition and transformation.

Computer use in financial education: an account of experience in education of youth and adults
Abstract: This work is the result of a university project developed through financial education workshops with the eighth and ninth grade students of the Youth and Adult Education modality of a public school in the city of Araraquara. The objectives of the project were to provide students with discussions on topics that contributed to improve their skills and competences in financial situations and also to include in this teaching-learning context another resource, the computer. The workshops were developed using two approaches; a systemic one, with presentation of the contents; and another, practice, using the computer, specifically Excel spreadsheets. The results show that the computer, especially the software, enabled the students to construct and explore the financial concepts addressed in the workshops, thus showing an integrative methodology in the teaching-learning process for financial education as part of mathematics education.

National and multilateral government agencies and popular narrative promote the idea that the use of information, communication and design technology (ICT-D) in education transform teaching. It is argued that these changes will help students become part of a “new economy” based on the use of ICT-D and characterized by “increased productivity”, “collaboration” and “flexibility.” This article questions this view of technological determinism by presenting an analysis of classrooms in a working class area of Mexico City where young people and adults are being taught to use the computer. Using a sociocultural approach based on the concept of situated practice, we show how some of the decisions and directions of the instructors in computer classes for youth and adults respond to educational traditions, notions of basic education for adults, and beliefs about learning that promote mechanical exercises and repetition. The discussion posits teachers’ beliefs and actions are social constructions rather than individual choices or shortcomings by presenting teaching materials provided by the public agency responsible for adult education in Mexico.

Educators know too well the challenges of teaching BSW students about social work practice with older adults. Students hesitate to work with older adults due to personal fears about aging, lack of experiences with this population, or stereotypical misconceptions about older adults and nursing homes. It is apparent that many students have difficulty empathizing with older adults because they have never experienced what it is like to be an older adult with dementia. A solution to this problem is incorporating an immersive experiential learning simulation called the Virtual Dementia Tour (VDT) into BSW course content. The findings indicate that the VDT was an effective evidence-based learning tool for increasing student knowledge about aging and improving their empathy and sensitivity toward older adults with dementia.

Canadian English language programs have seen a recent increase in enrolment by English as a Second Language adult literacy learners. To date, minimal research has been conducted with these learners, leaving literacy teachers with little guidance. In our literature review we found that, because learners often lose motivation due to their lack of or limited education, building motivation and investment must be at the heart of lesson design when teaching adult literacy learners. Thus, we adopted a transformative and post-structuralist framework to extend proven sociocultural theories to the adult literacy learner population. Our article reviewed past literature, incorporated the autobiographical narratives of experienced literacy teachers and provided six teaching strategies for increasing investment and motivation in adult literacy learners: providing relevance, addressing settlement needs, incorporating life experiences, encouraging learner autonomy, promoting collaborative learning, and building self-efficacy. Our article will demonstrate that further research is required in the arena of adult low literacy English language learners.

Much of this meeting has been concerned with the teaching of introductory astronomy to children, teenagers, and young adults. Introductory astronomy for working and retired adults has been given short shrift, however. Because the mature population is significant in number and in its influence on governmental support for astronomy, I thought that some mention should be made. My own experience concerns the educational programs that are available to mature students in the United States.Most working adults are restricted by their jobs to taking classes in the evening. Most large universities in the United States provide such classes. These are often administered by organizations that are completely autonomous from the “host” school. A typical arrangement is for the school to provide classroom space, access to audio-visual equipment (sometimes), and university credit for those who register for credit. The “adult education,” “continuing education,” or “university extension” organization handles the rest. It obtains the necessary faculty to teach the courses, advertises the classes, and administers the registration and grading. For the “credit” courses in astronomy, the most common teachers are graduate students and postdoctoral fellows looking for some extra cash and teaching experience. There is no real impetus for regular faculty members to teach these classes. This is an unfortunate circumstance that could be remedied by some private, state, or federal funding of endowed “chairs” in adult education.

Abstract Polypharmacy (typically defined as the concomitant use of 5 or more medications) affects 40-50% of older adults in the U.S., and is associated with geriatric syndromes, a higher risk of medication non-adherence, and adverse drug events. Medication non-adherence is a common frustrating clinical issue for clinicians who provide care for older adult patients. Simultaneously, patients often find medication regimens to be complicated and confusing. This may contribute to medication non-adherence, which may further lead to adverse drug events and/or negative health outcomes. The more medications a patient is taking, the higher the risk for non-adherence. Thirty-eight students enrolled in an adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner program were given a bag of five mock medications that are commonly prescribed for older adults. Students were instructed to follow the directions on each of the bottles for approximately one month. A private messaging system was available for students if refills were needed or if they had questions about their medications. A debriefing session for this month-long, ungraded simulation was held, at which time students returned medication bottles. Pill counts were not analyzed, but all returned bottles contained mock medications. Approximately 52.6% of students estimated adhering to the medication regimen 0-24% of the time, whereas 26.3% reported an adherence rate of 25-50%. The most commonly cited barrier to adherence (55.3%) was “forgetfulness”. Nearly all students (89.5%) reported that the exercise “very much” increased their awareness of challenges patients face when managing medications, and 97% cited an increased awareness of ways to improve medication adherence.

Solving personal problems is a basic life skill. The goal is to achieve problem-solving competence in applying a variety of models, three of which are trial and error/reinforcement, linear/rational, and intuitive/creative. The focus in this article is on the intuitive creative model that deals with novel problematic situations. Conditions of readiness for solving problems with any model are accurate problem awareness and appraisal of the problem, an attitude of meeting a challenge, self-efficacy or confidence in one’s ability to solve problems, and an appropriate problem-solving set. While much research has been devoted to studying children and college youth in laboratory situations doing essentially thinking types of tasks, little research has been done with middle-aged and older adults. More research is needed on how adults learn problem-solving skills, and how they might develop greater problem-solving competence.

Fostering creativity and faith formation with mature adults in church settings is a crucial task facing congregations across denominations. Our task is to create learning environments that invite participants to participate in transformative teaching and learning that leads to more faithful living. Such emancipatory education involves open and dialogical experiences where deep listening, on-going reflection and mutual respect are practiced. Being free to raise hard questions and to explore “what if” possibilities can help older adults grow in faith and in discipleship that offers compassion and works for justice.

Abstract False ideas about the physical and psychosocial characteristics of older adults exist in America. It is especially important that nurses are not susceptible to myths and stereotypes as these myths can affect the quality of patient care. For example, some people stereotype older adults as forgetful, disabled, ill, and unable to understand new information. Misconceptions and negative stereotypes are also present in first year nursing students. It is vital that students assess their own attitudes about older adults to form positive attitudes and gain knowledge about aging and health care needs. To achieve this goal, the older adult lecture in a first semester theory and fundamental course begins with a PowerPoint slide presentation asking students to distinguish truths and myths. The truth or myth topics include a) developmental tasks; b) common physiological changes; c) a comparison of delirium, dementia, and depression; and d) addressing health concerns of older adults. Active discussion follows the activity. Seventy to ninety percent of students correctly answered nine of ten questions related to older adult content on the final exam. Considering the increasing number of older adults in the health care setting, nurse educators must dismantle negative stereotypes with creative teaching strategies.

Adults are demanding foreign language learners. My sample in the questionnaire consisted of 20 adult learners of German language in the hotel and tourism industry - false beginners and intermediate level learners. The questionnaire they were asked to fill in consisted of twelve questions asking the learners to admit to the teaching methods they dislike in learning German or would like to eliminate from the process in general. First of all they expect their learning to be an almost stress-free activity. In order to achieve that, as much as possible should be learnt in the classroom because they have difficulties reconciling home study with other duties. In the textbooks they need some instruction and equivalents in their native language to feel secure. Roleplays and listening to native speakers talking rapidly stresses them most. On the contrary, videotapes make them relaxed. Certainly there are some other things adult learners might dislike and it is very useful for the teacher to ask them about these things. The more you know about learners’ likes and dislikes, the more fulfilling and successful the process of acquiring foreign language skills will be.

There are few places more open and inclusive than an adult English language class. Or, are there? Although adult educators teaching in these multi-cultural and linguistically heterogeneous environments use practices designed to embrace their students’ diverse ethnic and linguistic identities, they less frequently incorporate practices to be inclusive of another important element students bring into the classroom, their sexual identity. Evidence suggests that while educators want to be inclusive, they are reluctant or unsure of how to do so. The purpose of this article is to supply English language teachers of adults with strategies to positively address sexual identity in ways that establish an inclusive environment for all learners.

Abstract Changing age demographics are reshaping societies and challenging institutions of higher education to consider how they can respond to aging populations through new approaches to teaching, research, and community engagement. As well, institutions are facing a range of challenges as they look to respond to the contemporary needs of traditional-aged students. The pioneering Age-Friendly University (AFU) initiative, endorsed by GSA’s Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE), offers a framework within which institutions can begin to address these issues through more age-friendly programs, practices, and partnerships. This symposium will feature AFU advocates discussing innovate ways in which older adults can serve as teaching allies and support the educational mission of higher education. Farah (Lasell University) will discuss how older adults can engage in diverse teaching and learning activities with examples as crime scenario developers in a forensics class, conversation partners in an international oral communication class, and professional interviewers in an internship skills class. Kaye (University of Maine) will discuss how older adults can serve as citizen scientists performing critical functions in participatory research and in community-based test-beds and co-design laboratories. Ermer (Montclair State University) will discuss how older adults can engage students in discourse as guest speakers and panel participants in classes across the curriculum. Manoogian (Western Oregon University) will describe the innovative ways that older adult students (for credit or audit) mentor and engage younger student peers in course activities as well as increase their own understanding of the aging process.
