Different types of learners

When you are next in a classroom ask yourself these questions to think about how you learn:

• When I hear a new word do I need to see it written down to know how it’s spelt?
• Am I interested in grammar and how English tenses are put together?
• Are my notes kept neatly in a methodical way?
• Do I keep a personal dictionary of newly learnt words?
• Does my personal dictionary help me to remember the words?
• How easy do I find it to hear differences in sounds?
• Does drawing pictures of new words help me to remember them in English?
• Does touching an object help me to remember what it’s called?
• Do I enjoy listening to the teacher and taking notes?
• Do I prefer working on my own or with other people?
• Do I know why I’m learning English?

This list of questions is obviously limited but it’s a good start towards becoming a more effective learner. The more you are aware about your dominant intelligences in the learning process the more you can exploit them to make learning a more enjoyable and rewarding journey. - See more at: http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/business-magazine/multiple-intelligences#sthash.ugBNZEa1.dpuf
