Choosing of learning techniques that are more natural to you.

Suppose you and your friend John are in history class, studying the events that led up to world war 1. Films and tapes are of speech es about the period are in the school library. Since you love movies, you get more out of watching the films. Since John prefer listening, he gets more out of listening to speeches. If you were to watch films, neither of you would fully understand what you are studying.

People think and learn differently. How do you learn? We all have two eyes, two ears, a nose but look unique or special. People aren’t the same on the outside and they aren’t the same inside either.

Everyone has their own learning style. You were born with yours and John was born with his. Different parts of everybody brain are-well, different!

Think of a person as a seesaw, it’s pretty unusual for someone to be perfectly level see saw, with all level of styles having the strength or weight. For most of us, the seesaw is tilted. We’re it goes up, we have more learning strength, when its goes down, we have less. We tilt one way or another but we all stay in the other. It is unimportant to know how you learn best, so you can find clues about how you learn best by looking for a similarity in the things that like to do. you learn in many different ways and you have your own combinations of learning styles. Usually, you are comfortable doing certain activities and you get more out of these activities because they match your learning styles.

Five learning styles

EARS: if you have rather listen to the radio than read the paper, if you like listening to music and/or lectures, or participate in other activities that depend on your ears, you are probably an auditory learner. Auditory learners mostly use their ears to learn.

EYES: if you like to watch movies and draw or paint or get involved in other activities that rely on your eyes you are probably a visual learner. Visual learners mainly use their eyes to learn.

IMAGE: if you make pictures or designs in your head as you are looking at or listening to something, you are learning through images. People who learn through images are usually global learners. These people like to see the whole picture and often don’t need to work through individual parts as sequential learners do.

ORDER: if you like to do crossword puzzles, fill out forms, work maths problems, or do other activities in an orderly way, you are probably a sequential learner. Sequential learners need to put things in a particular order so they can learn then.

DOING: if you like to keep moving- whether it’s big movement action of sports or dancing or a small-movement action such as a doodling, playing instrument or needlework you might learn best by motion and be a kinesthetic learner. Kinesthetic learners learn best when they keep their bodies or hands moving.

There are as many combinations of learning styles as there are people! The way to find out about yourself is to pay close attention to when and how close pay close attention.

How do you remember???

The next time someone gives you a phone number, pay attention to what you do to try to remember the number

EYE: Do you see the numbers in your head?

EAR: Do you say the numbers, perhaps over and over in your head?

EYE and EAR:Do you do both?

DOING: Do you write the numbers in the air with your fingers?

IMAGE: Do you make a picture of the numbers in your head?

ORDER: Do you put the numbers in a certain groupings?

These are the few tips, stay tune on my next post to identify your combinations styles of learning, and to boost and strengthen your learning styles in reading, listening and learning new language.
