LIFELONG LEARNING: LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN OLD AGES
Description
In today's world, English proficiency has become an essential requirement for many working individuals, not merely an advantage. This has led to a significant increase in the number of middle-aged and older adults seeking language courses. To meet the demands of this growing population of older learners, educators need to carefully analyze existing coursebooks, teaching methodologies, and approaches, considering the unique learning characteristics of older adults. To develop effective syllabuses that cater to the specific needs of this group, it's crucial to address fundamental questions: who are we teaching, how do older learners learn, and what are the most effective teaching strategies for them?
Key words: older adult education, senior students, teaching English, learning English, lifelong learning, elderly learning.
