ABET
Adult Education Classes Means More Choices
Adult education classes have a huge positive impact on the learner, giving him the confidence, with new gained information, to enter the working world with life and literacy skills. The ABET programme fulfills a huge need in South Africa where thousands upon thousands of adults have never enrolled in school nor have a high school credential. Students who complete the ABET program experience higher self-esteem, an increase in job opportunities and more choices in many areas of life as it improves your basic reading, writing and math skills and today thousands of learners can take advantage of adult education classes which are directed towards:
- Adults who did not complete high school
- Non-English speaking adults
Classes are self paced and the instructors work with the learners to identify their individual learning goals and to develop plans to reach these goals.
English Second Language classes demonstrate the use of the communicative method used with adult South African learners and teachers adapt their lessons to the learners competence. In adult education classes, learners need to feel at ease when they make mistakes, as the instructor simply corrects this and the second language can be strengthened in this way.
Teaching numeracy in adult education classes:
A beginner class learns how to read and write numbers, and learns about how the number system works before a much more advanced class; learning fractions. The teachers see what their learners needs are, and do their best to meet those needs and are good at creating positive learning atmospheres where they draw on the knowledge their learners might have, and link numeracy with everyday activities to ensure that learners can do the most basic of numeracy tasks before moving on.
