Book Description
This friendly and practical book is the guide to how to teach adults. Now in its 4th edition, the book has been extensively rewritten to meet the needs of those working with adults at the beginning of the 21st century.

The book answers questions such as,

'How can I manage my group so that the confident people don't dominate and the quieter ones get a look in?'

This book is aimed at anyone who wants to know how to teach adults. It will help people who teach adults in a wide range of settings - from traditional adult education institutes, universities, management training courses to government training schemes.

The book aims to build confidence, to offer practical advice and to give the real-life flavour of the privilege and excitement of helping fellow adults develop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for 730 students, 3 Nov 2001
By ahhbananas@aol.com (Kent, Europe) - See all my reviews
This book is great for the practical approch of the C&G 730. It covers a lot of the touchy feel areas that might be missing in more theory based texts. The case studies are also valuable. They feel real.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Read & Lots of Information, 12 Mar 2005
I read this book after I first started work in Adult Eduction. I wish I had read it before I started! I realised after reading it all of the errors I had been making.

This is a very practical book, it won't bog you down in concepts and theory. There wasn't a single page I didn't find useful.

It's written in a very accessible friendly style, but still gets all the information you need accross. I tore my way though it the first time and then I found it really easy to flick through and find something I wanted to recap on.

It really has made a difference to my work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on adult teaching there is!, 22 Feb 2006
I am a Learndirect tutor of adults with disabilities and wanted to read more about how adults actually learn. This perfect little book answered all my questions. The foreward has a lovely warm tone and sets the scene for the rest of the book which has a down-to-earth, not overly theoretical approach as do some of the post-compulsory education teaching books.

Chapter headings are as follows to give you an idea of the content: Adult learners: what you need to know, Giving Feedback, Understanding your Group, Mixed ability groups, Lectures and Demonstrations, Case Studies, role-play, simulation and games, Discussion and Facilitation, Tutoring Open Learners, Coaching and Mentoring, and Evaluating Learning.

The book sees learning from the learner's point of view, which helps the tutor decide how best to go about facilitating that learning, rather than 'teaching'. I like the way the book looks at ALL the different and newer settings that trainers/tutors/teachers may now find themselves in, and though first written in 1971 it has been updated to a fourth edition.

This is the most friendly and practical book on teaching adults I have read and I thoroughly recommend it whether you are a further education teacher, evening class tutor, private one-to-one tutor, coach or mentor or any of the other guises adult educators fall into in modern times.
