With the addition of seven new chapters, this second edition provides the educator of adults with aspects of understanding and facilitating adult learning as well as a variety of methods and techniques that can enhance the instructional and learning process in many educational settings. The book is designed for the practitioner and is written from a practical "how-to" perspective. Its premise is that by acquiring a greater understanding of the process of helping adults learn and the methodologies that can enhance this process, teachers and adult learners can increase their chances of sharing a positive, meaningful, and developing educational experience. 
"This second edition of Adult Learning Methods by Michael Galbraith and associates represents a landmark in the presentation of available adult learning methods and techniques...[it] illustrates the stability as well as the changing nature of strategies for enhancing teaching and learning efforts...not only a how-to-do it book, but a what-to-do-and-why guidebook. This is the only book I know that delivers such in-depth information about adult learning methods and techniques. It presents a state-of-the-art picture of adult education methodology for educators of adults who work in a multitude of learning settings."-- Malcolm S. Knowles, from the Foreword.
