TEACHING ADULTS
Well, I think to work with adults is better because adults are able to handle abstract rules, and you can work with concepts, and direct things. I mean, you have to find the correct way to work with them, but you do not handle with a lot of things just to get another point. I mean, you do not have to circle a lot. Moreover, adults have longer attention spans even if the topic is interesting for them or not. So, working with children would be hard because you have to be very patient and love children. And in order to work with teens you have to be very intelligent to focus them, and be very patient, too.
Hi rose! I am really surprised of this entry because I thought that you liked children, but anyway, I have to say that I agree with your point of view because children are very difficult to work with, and I think that they need a lot of attention. While adults are more responsible of their own learning process. They take ir seriously.
ResponderEliminarAlso there`s something else that is important to mention. Teachers who work with kids become, somehow, like a parent because they have to care not only about their students´ learning process but also about their students`security and other stuff
Well rose, i dig your entry 'cause your the only one for now that would like to work with adults, and i know that is a little difficult as well, and more if they are in an advanced level. If this is the case you must look for innovative activities since they must have already done some of the simplier ones already, but i think that is a good chalenge as well.
ResponderEliminarHi there!!!
ResponderEliminarIf they are in advanced levels, they become very picky with the way you address the topics. Some may even give you ideas on how they would like you to teach. It happened to me.But it´s great to interact with them.One good thing is that you develop strategies for each age group. You can explore new horizons. And that´s amazingly rewarding
