Study Notes

Learning Styles

  • Learning styles are the preferred ways students absorb, process, understand, and retain information.
  • Styles depend on cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors, as well as prior experience.
  • Everyone learns differently.

Types of Learners

  • Visual learners prefer visual aids like reading, charts, drawings, and pictures.
  • Auditory learners learn best by listening to lectures, audiotapes, and having discussions.
  • Kinesthetic learners benefit from hands-on experiences, movement, and varied activities.

More Learning Styles

  • Field-independent learners tend to separate details from the surrounding context.
  • Field-dependent learners see the whole picture and the general configuration of the problem/event.

Ambiguity Tolerance

  • Tolerance of ambiguity is the tendency to perceive ambiguous situations as desirable—people with high tolerance are open to new ideas.
  • Intolerance of ambiguity means perceiving ambiguous situations as threatening; people with low tolerance are more rigid and resist new ideas.
  • Successful language learning necessitates tolerance of ambiguities, such as words and rules that differ from the native language.

Reflective vs. Impulsive

  • Reflectivity/impulsivity describes the speed and calculation in decision-making. An impulsive person makes quick decisions, while a reflective person makes calculated decisions.
  • Implications for classroom teaching: Teachers should be more patient with students who are reflective learners, and treat mistakes more understandingly. Students with impulsive learning styles may move through stages of second language acquisition faster.

Questionnaire

  • A questionnaire can help identify student learning styles using statements (K-Kinesthetic, V-Visual, A-Auditory) related to specific learning activities and situations.
