| Summary: | This study concerns about teaching and learning related to the learner. The authors
present their experience both as facilitators and learners in understanding Yemeni
and Malay culture. To begin the discussion, the authors present the background of
the concept of learning, and learning others’ language and culture. To discuss the
experience, they use the key theories of humanist, social learning and constructivist.

core principles of adult learning: the need to know; the self-concept; experience;
readiness to learn; orientation to learning; and motivation to learn. |
