Through my 15 year

experience as a teacher of

English Language, I learned

to introduce a variety of

techniques and procedures

to make sure that I meet

the individual differences

among my students.

Among these techniques

were: lecturing, video

shows, educational games,

pair and group work,

debates, and brainstorming.

Based on the above mentioned results, I noticed that there is a

major discrepancy in

the auditory teaching -

learning style. My teaching style was

15% auditory.My students’ learning

style was 26%

I have decided to gear up my

instruction styles to better suit my

students’ auditory preferences:

the teacher will provide: more verbal instruction more dialogues and

discussions rhythm and sounds as

memory aidsAlso, I will keep on varying my

techniques to suit all the needs

and preferences of my students.

Role

On the other hand, students’ textual learning

style preference is very

low, so I will encouraged

to:

Concentrate more on written

texts and captions than on

illustrations. Outline chapters prior to

reading them Write out lecture notes in

complete sentences. Practice their recall by listing

key terms and details.
