LEARNING STYLE RESULTS: auditory learner visual learner Kinaesthetic learner

Visual learners learn best from images, text and looking: e.g. board work, videos, taking notes, posters in classroom.

Auditory learners like sound to help them learn. e.g. discussion, using cassettes in class, songs and working on pronunciation.

Kinaesthetic learners like a

hands-on style of learning. e.g.

cutting and pasting, matching

cards, games and role-plays.
