We
all have a learning style which we feel most familiar with.
However, by examining this style, we can often find ways
of making learning more effective.

Learners'
experiences
"I like to be in a relaxed,
informal environment - a small mixed group.
I like to feel that I can ask the teacher to repeat explanations
or words without any feeling of anxiety or that I have
failed or am irritating the teacher."
Deborah
Chan, Hong Kong

Learning Style Check!
Ask yourself the following questions in order to assess
your personal learning style.
-
Have
you ever considered what your preferred learning style
may be, either in or out of the classroom?
-
When
you last learned anything, either formally or informally,
did you enjoy and benefit from the experience? Or were
you vaguely dissatisfied but couldn't work out why?
-
Do
you...feel you must see and write down what you are
trying to learn before you remember it? ... see your
role as silently taking things in? ... feel you need
the close attention of a teacher in order to learn?
Or are you someone who takes risks and feels comfortable
about doing something slightly unusual and possibly
making a mistake.
