Respecting and Serving the Needs of ESL Senior Citizens.

Bello, Tom

TESOL Journal, v4 n1 p36-39 Fall 1994

Researches the requirements for teaching English as a Second Language to senior citizens in Fairfax County, Virginia, by means of a questionnaire sent to county teachers. These people should not be separated from younger students; the instructional materials should tap their wealth of experience and focus on communicative activities in real-life situations.
