Abstract

The thesis on Learning English as a Second Language in Adults presents adult learning and findings connected with it in the theoretical part. This part also includes characteristics of adult learning which have an impact on the learning process and dynamics of work. Memory and motivation, wide concepts, and important features are also presented in terms of adult learning. Last but not least, age factor also affects learning a foreign language. In English, the most affected language fields are pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. The empirical part presents motives and motivation of adult learners that learn English as a foreign language. We also presented the results of didactic features and experiences that the learners gained during the learning process. We found out that motive, didactic features in learners' experiences are in a correlation with the age factor.

Secondary abstract: Magistrsko delo z naslovom Učenje angleščine kot tujega jezika pri odraslih v teoretičnem delu predstavlja dosedanja spoznanja in opredelitve pojma učenja odraslih. Predstavljene so tudi značilnosti učenja odraslih, ki vplivajo na sam učni proces in dinamiko dela. Delo vsebuje tudi splošen opis spomina in motivacije, ki ju nato bolj podrobneje opredelimo znotraj okvirov učenja tujega jezika pri odraslih. Ne nazadnje se dotaknemo tudi starostnega dejavnika, ki vpliva na učenje tujega jezika, in sicer predvsem izgovorjave, slovnice in besedišča. V empiričnem delu smo s pomočjo rezultatov analize anketnega vprašalnika predstavili motive in motivacijo odraslih, ki se odločajo za učenje angleščine kot tujega jezika. Predstavili smo tudi didaktične značilnosti in izkušnje, ki so jih anketiranci opisali ob učenju tujega jezika. Ugotovili smo, da motivi za učenje angleščine kot tujega jezika, didaktične značilnosti in njihove izkušnje z učenjem sovpadajo s starostjo.
