TYPES OF LEARNERS


Hello English Learners!!
Hope you enjoyed Christmas day :D

Today there is not any lesson to talk about, but I wanted to explain you something. It is about types of learners. According to the VAK model, there are three types of learners: Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic. 
Visual learners tend to learn through seeing.Some of the strategies they use in order to learn may be reading a word many times until they memorize it or highlighting key words. What's more, they draw graphics, charts or diagrams to structure the information. 

Then, auditory learners are the ones who develop  listening skills. They enjoy listening to others and they like speaking to present their point of view. They think in words rather than pictures, and they use to watch videos so they can understand the information much better.

Finally, we find Kinaesthetic learners. They learn through touching, moving and interacting with others. Kinaesthetic learners use body language to express themselves. They have ability in using their hands to create or build. Kinaesthetic learners find it hard to sit for long periods and they may get bored.

Most of the times, we use one of these styles to learn. However, we can combine things from all of them. 

I'm a visual learner. And you, what is your learning style?
