The communicative/auditory learner
Likes interacting and responds positively in class. Takes part in pair and group work with enthusiasm. Is less concerned with accuracy in the language, the student is more interested in getting the message across. Often remembers words heard in conversations or on TV. He or she would rather listen to a cassette than read about something and his class notes can be messy. Is likely to initiate conversations with other students and the teacher whenever possible, wants to learn about local expressions and slang.
The authority-orientated learner
This student is generally concerned with accuracy and often worries about making mistakes. He or she regularly seeks reassurance from the teacher that he or she has understood correctly and sees the teacher as the "fount of all knowledge" and attempts to write down everything presented in class. He or she is uncomfortable with guessing the meaning of unknown vocabulary or structures.
The analytical learner
Enjoys working out the meaning and rules of language, looking things up in grammar books, dictionaries etc. He or she likes the challenge of identifying the meaning and use of different structures, often comparing them to his or her native language. He or she monitors his or her own accuracy carefully when speaking and writing. Is usually quick to understand language patterns and makes detailed, diagrammatic notes for reference purposes. He or she may have a scientific background.
The visual learner
Responds well to images and pictures-these can help her to recallvocabulary and language structures. Everything that has to be learned is written down in well organized notes and highlighted in different colours. Can be reluctant to repeat or practice language before seeing it in its written form. He or she can easily understand language charts and tables, can visualize the place on a page where he or she learned something and often uses mental imaging to recall information.
The kinaesthetic learner
This student learns by doing and being active. Tasks such as moving/rearranging objects, responding physically to languages or instructions by moving around the classroom and working on projects, rather than exercises are successful. This learner can often seem restless in class and likes to get started on an activity rather than listen to instructions on how to do it. He or she probably uses a lot of body language when communicating and gets good ideas when he or she is moving around: doing the shopping, taking a walk etc.... |
