Learning and Teaching Styles In Foreign and Second Language Education

Abstract

The ways in which an individual characteristically acquires, retains, and retrieves information are collectively termed the individual's learning style. Mismatches often occur between the learning styles of students in a language class and the teaching style of the instructor, with unfortunate effects on the quality of the students' learning and on their attitudes toward the class and the subject. This paper defines several dimensions of learning style thought to be particularly relevant to foreign and second language education, outlines ways in which certain learning styles are favored by the teaching styles of most language instructors, and suggests steps to address the educational needs of all students in foreign language classes.

Determining the learning preferences of the students of the faculty of health sciences in Cyprus International University

“…Students can learn in many ways [1]. Some students learn by seeing, some learn by hearing whereas some of them learn by drawing and creating mathematical models.…”

“…As educators improve themselves in this direction, the quality of education increases [2].A student's determination and awareness of his/her own learning style, ensures better deliberation in the SHS Web of Conferences 48, 01002 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/20184801002 ERPA 2018 selection of materials, and in course design among the educators for improving the learning opportunities [1].…”

Ensino de Botânica no Ensino Fundamental: estudando o pólen por meio de multimodos

“…Quando ocorre a interação aluno-conteúdo-professor, a aula torna-se objetiva e clara, os alunos estabelecem uma conexão entre o conteúdo novo com o cognitivo, e deste modo gerando a aprendizagem significativa, mas para que isso ocorra precisa de recursos que tornem a aula interativa. Felder & Silverman (1988), baseando-se em pesquisa de outros autores, formularam um modelo de estilos de aprendizagem com dimensões que seriam relevantes para melhorar a aprendizagem em relação à educação científica. São cinco dimensões de estilos de aprendizagem: visual/verbal, sensorial/ intuitivo, indutivo/dedutivo, ativo/reflexivo, e sequencial/global.…”

Construction of Deduction System of Learning Profile from Performance Indicators

“…We find for example the learning styles of Kolb [8], the work of Felder and Silverman [9] or the VAK model was used to develop the tool of the seven learning profiles [10]. These works are widely used for the improvement and adaptation of on-learning systems [11]- [14].…”
