Language Learning Styles and Strategies

Why do we need to know our students learning styles? Language learning styles and strategies are among the main factors that help determine how –and how well –our students learn a second or foreign language

Case study Bu Aminah teach a classroom in which the students have varied learning styles. Budi for examples, he learns best when the activity includes practice and experiments. Mona, on the other hands can study only if the explanation is accompanied with visual illustration . Unlike Budi and Mona, Rahmi can learn only if the class is quite and he can fully concentrate on teachers’ explanantion.

Learning Styles What are the Learning Styles ? →The general approaches to learning How many Learning Styles are there? →Four main dimension and many among each

Desired Degree of Generality Biological Differences Learning Styles Sensory Preferences Personality Types Desired Degree of Generality Biological Differences

Sensory Preferences Visual Auditory Kinesthetic Tactile

Visual Preference Visual students like to read and obtain a great deal from visual stimulation. Stimulations such as words, images, motion pictures and live performances Conversation and oral instruction →might be confusing to them

Auditory Preference Comfortable without visual input Excited by the classroom interactions in role plays and similar activities. However!!! →They sometimes have difficulty with writing

Kinesthetic and Tactile Preference Kinesthetic Tactile Like lots of movement and enjoy working with tangible objects, collages and flashcards. Instead of sitting still, they prefer walking around the classroom

What sensory preference do you prefer? Q&A What sensory preference do you prefer?

Extroverted vs. Introverted Sensing-Sequential vs. Intuitive-Random Personality Types Extroverted vs. Introverted Sensing-Sequential vs. Intuitive-Random Thinking vs. Feeling Open/Perceiving Closure-oriented/Judging

Extroverted vs. Introverted →energy from external world. →enjoy interacting with people and making friends Introverted →energy from internal world →seeking solitude They can learn to work with the help from teachers

Intuitive-Random vs. Sensing-Sequential  →Think in abstract, futuristic, large-scale, and nonsequential ways  →Like to creat theories and prefer to guide their own learning Sensing-Sequential  →Like facts rather than theories  →Want guidance and specific instruction from teachers

How do teachers teach them both? To offer variety and choice Sometimes a highly organized structure for sensing-sequential learners At other times multiple options and enrichment activities for another kind

Thinking vs. Feeling Thinking →Oriented toward the stark truth Feeling  →Want to be viewed competent and do not give praise easily Feeling  →Value other people in personal ways  →Show empathy and compassion Thinking learners can help feeling ones tone down their emotional expression while working together

Closure-oriented/Judging vs. Open/Perceiving  →Reach judgments or completion quickly  →Enjoy being given specific tasks and deadlines  →Desire for closure Open/Perceiving  →Take learning less seriously, treating it like a game →Dislike deadlines and like to have a long time soaking up information by osmosis(潛移默化,耳濡目染) They both provide good balance to each other

What personality type do you think you are? Q&A What personality type do you think you are?

Desired Degree of Generality Global or holistic Analytic

Desired Degree of Generality Global or holistic  →Like socially interaction, communicating events  →Feel free to guess from context  →Tend to make grammatical mistakes Analytic  →Concentrate on grammatical details  →Do not take risks guessing from contexts They both have much to learn from each others

Biological Differences Biorhythms(生物節律) Sustenance Location

Biorhythms Learners have their best time for studying Some perform well in the morning; some in the evening…

Sustenance The need for food and drink while learning. Quite a number of L2 learners feel very comfortable learning with a candy bar, a cup of coffee or a soda in hand while some tend to be distracted from studying

Location Involves the nature of environment Temperature Lighting Sound And even the firmness of the chairs

Learning Strategies What are learning strategies?  →Specific behaviors or thought processes that learners use to enhance their learning How many learning strategies are there?  →Six main categories

About strategies A strategy is neither good nor bad A strategy is useful if  →a. It relates well to the L2 task at hand  →b. It fits the particular student’s learning style  →c. The student employs it effectively Enable students to become more independent, autonomous, lifelong learners.

Metacognitive Strategies Memory-related Strategies Six Main Categories Cognitive Strategies Metacognitive Strategies Memory-related Strategies Compensatory Strategies Affective Strategies Social Strategies

Cognitive Strategies Enable learners to manipulate the language materials E.g., through reasoning, analysis, notetaking, summarizing, outlining, reorganizing, etc.

Metacognitive Strategies Identifying one’s own learning style preferences and needs Manage the learning process overall.

Memory-related Strategies Help learners to link one L2 item or concept to another, but do not always involve deep understanding Enable learners to learn and retrieve information in an orderly string Learners need such strategy much less when they become better

Compensatory Strategies Guessing from context in listening and reading Use synonyms and “talk around” the missing word to aid speaking and writing Use gestures or pause words Help learners to make up missing words

Affective Strategies Identify one’s mood and anxiety level Use deep breathing or positive self-talk Students who progress toward proficiency seldom need it

Social Strategies Work with others and understand the target culture as well as the language Intensive interaction with people

Assessing Learning Styles →The written survey  →Students answer questions that reveal their particular preferences Learning Strategies  →Self-report, observations, interview, learner journals, etc  →the most widely used book→Strategy Inventory for Language Learning
