@JAPeifer : While working with adult learners, I have found your statement to be true. When adults are able to relate the current information being taught to something that they will experience within the work place, they tend to retain the information better and are more receptive. It is a challenge to convince many of my students that English Composition is necessary on a daily basis, especially within the medical field. However, while accepting the challenge, we work on scenarios that will most likely happen when they are out in the workplace.
