Hey Rafael! You�re teaching old people?! Do they have any prior knowledge of English? Please, tell me more about yr class and i �ll probably help you �cause I �ve been also teaching adults!
Take care! |

How old is old?
In my day we never trusted anyone over 30 because we thought THEY were old!

I also have been teaching adults for a number of years and you will find that there is an abundance of worksheets on the site that will definitely help you. If you need help let me know. Be careful when you call people old we have a few old hens on this site who still consider themselves spring chickens.  |

I also teach mainly young adults and adults.
I �ve had a few older students, over 50.
Not too different from the other adults.
I would love to teach old students, like, in their 70 �s.
Then, I guess you gotta have a different approach. ^^

Hi there!!
It would give us better hints to advise you if you could be more clear about the age of your students rather than just saying OLD.
I dont think you mean to say anything wrong and I dont know if the word OLD is wrong but some people might not like it, your students might not even like the idea of being called OLD.
Personally, I �d be more than happy to PM you with a few ideas.
Miss Melissa.  |

Hi Rafael,
I don �t know exactly how old your students are,
but here �s what I found:
Good luck with your "old" students!..

Hi!
I teach EFA which means that I have students whose age goes from to 30 smt to 60 smt!
It depends what �s your concept of old!
Personally , I think age is just a number as I had enthusiastic senior students who were hard working and younger ones who diddn �t try so hard!
I think it depends on the people!
Just try to specify what are the contents you �re exactly teaching so that we can really help you!
See you! |
