Developing reading and writing skills can be difficult for anyone,
particularly adults, who lead complex, busy lives. That’s why keeping adults
motivated to persist can be one of the most difficult aspects of running an
adult literacy program. Below are five great teaching strategies for adults
that can be easily incorporated into your current literacy program offerings.
1. Provide a Flexible Learning Experience
Your adult learners come from a variety of life stages and have
different viewpoints and values. For example, workers with years of experience
in Canada will be more knowledgeable about financial and workplace literacy
versus newcomers to the country.
2. Ask for Feedback
Allow learners to contribute to their learning experience to help
keep them motivated and engaged. Have them make meaningful choices regarding
their course material and delivery method, such as asking for feedback on a
reading selection.
3. Create a Safe, Welcoming Environment
Create a learning space where learners feel comfortable to share
and respond to questions.
4. Keep Learning Practical
Use a how-to approach that covers only one topic at a time and
links to concrete examples and situational practices.
5. Make It Fun
Adult learners who are engaged in fun learning environments are
more motivated to learn. READ
