Abstract
Do you remember things better if you read them or hear them? Do you like to repeat new vocabulary, study it while you are walking or make flashcards? It depends on the individual student. Different people learn in different ways. These different ways are called learning styles. A learning style is a way a person learns best, understands best, remembers best, and utilizes the learned materials best. In an EFL classroom, we have different student learning styles: some are visual or auditory learners, some are kinesthetic or tactile learners. We need to remember to use different activities so that all our students can learn. This interactive workshop will introduce only one classification of learning styles out of many that exist in the field of education. The session will introduce the concept of learning styles, help participants identify their preferred learning style/s, discuss the importance of being aware of learners’ learning styles in teaching, and discuss alternative ways to present and utilize using these differences. The presenter will organize “The Animal School” activity to raise participants’ awareness of learner differences. A “What are Learning Styles?” activity will introduce participants to the concept of learning styles. Also, participants will do a learning styles quiz to identify their own dominant learning characteristics. Through task adaptation participants will practice adapting exercises to cater to different learning styles and reflect on the use of learning styles in various activities.
