Abstract

One of the criticisms levelled at Universities by various institutions and the business sector is that universities are not teaching the studentshowto translate theory into practice. Taking as a case study the English subject of the Women into Science and Technology (WIST) course, an examination of the concepts of problem based learning will beexamined. The benefits of using problem based learning in a rural bridging course will be discussed to show how this technique is beneficial foradult learners returning to study.
