Learning process for adult students
The learning process for adult students means a lot of things, new challenges, new possibilities, personal growth, for this reason it is the duty of teachers to give them confidence and push them towards success. Adults face education with fears produced by insecurities, low self-esteem, specific learning needs, bad experiences, etc. Their prior knowledge and experiences must be really taken into account and we must consider every thing related to the context of the student before, while and after planning each lesson.
Learning for adults is important and relevant for their life, it is a very delicate and complex process that must be accomplished with effort, love, comprehension and commitment from both parts, students and teachers.

Christian, that is so true about adult's background knowledge. To me, it's the most major difference between teaching children and adults. And our adults can share their life experiences with others, including us, the teachers. Sometimes everyone learns from everyone else. I think that collaborating, whether it is offline or online, is a great reinforcement of the natural learning experiences that adults can share.
