DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

Our personality traits influence the way we learn and retain information not just in school or college but in everyday life. These inborn learning patterns also influence our performance in school or college based on the way a particular subject is taught.Awareness of learning typologies and creating a flexible learning environment can help the students who experience learning difficulties.

The Novolanguages method is all about matching learning typologies. Instructors conduct classes using a methodology suited to the learner. For groups or cohort classes all three typologies are included in proportion to the learners.

characteristics of visual leArners

  • Greater recall of words presented visually
  • Good planners, good spellers
  • Concentrate well while reading
  • Good handwriting

VISUAL LEARNERS

Visual learners have a vivid imagination. They retain what they see very easily. This means they prefer reading over listening and writing over speaking out loud. They remember information easily if it is presented visually in the form of graphics or diagrams.

TEACHING TOOLS

Mind maps, charts, diagrams, pictoral depiction of concepts, flashcards and mnemonics

AUDITORY LEARNERS

Auditory learners love talking. They may even engage in self talk. They may be inattentive in a class where they are expected to sit quitely and write. They learn best by listening to sounds.

TEACHING TOOLS

Repeated listening of recorded lectures, sound out words, speak out the answer, discuss the learning material, paraphrase concepts. Such learners would excel in an inverted classroom approach.

CHARACTERISTICS OF AUDITORY LEARNERS

  • Prefer discussions in classrooms
  • Love verbal praise from teachers
  • Read with Lip movements
  • Extroverted

characteristics of kinaesthetic learners

  • Fidget a lot
  • Talk with hand gestures
  • Enjoy problem solving by doing
  • Do not prefer reading

KINAESTHETIC LEARNERS

They remember best what they have done and not what they have seen or spoken about. They may thus find it difficult to concentrate during sudio-visual presentations.

TEACHING TOOLS

Walk while learning, take short breaks,use flashcards, writing, managing a personal dashboard. Such learners would thrive enacting, leading in a flipped classroom.
