Reflection # 3

I think my learning style is visual, because I have to read or see objects, pictures, and sometimes words in order to find ways in retaining new information. Teachers have to implement diverse strategies to achieve student learning. Students have different characteristics dealing with specific types of learning styles. The teachers need to expose them to a different kinds of materials for any proposed activity, in order to reach the activity or class objective.About the learners' beliefs, it is possible that most people have their own previous experiences in language learning, and how language instruction should be delivered. These experiences made students or parents aware concerning on what is going to be learned and the learning strategies they have to apply.

Juanita,
I share the same learning style as you. I need and sometimes must see the words and pictures to retin info. I use a lot of index cards to learn new vocabulary. I also encourage my students to use index cards. I think the mayority of people are visual learners due to our environment. TV, billboards, and our surroundings and the fact that there is an ad everywhere you look. In my class I use a lots of visuals and mapping. It also helps my students keep focused.
Gracias por compartir.
