Senior education has received increasing attention in Taiwan, as an active response to the dramatically ageing population. However, the existing literature has largely ignored the centrality of teacher-student communication to older learners' teaching and learning processes, and the potential improvement of those processes. This survey-based study of 231 older learners therefore focuses on their views of teacher-student communication in senior education, including the extent to which they endorse the various communication strategies employed by their teachers (identified in the author's previous project, see Chen, 2019) and the rationales for those strategies having been chosen. The findings reveal some interesting differences between teachers' views about appropriate teacher-student communication (captured in Chen, 2019) and older learners' parallel views. Older learners' demographic features also appeared to impact how they preferred to be communicated with in class by their teachers. Teachers of senior education can use these findings to better accommodate their teaching to older learners from homogeneous backgrounds.
