Learning styles of mixed ability language learners and how to deal with it

Abstract

Particular attention is focused on finding out which learning style is more popular and which one is more effective. There have been a great many of research in terms of achieving native like proficiency. It is interesting to know that there might be some people who almost mastered their target language while others cannot progress beyond a beginner or elementary level. One possible reason could be learners are quite different from each other and it is natural that each one has their own styles which they feel comfortable with. According to Cornet the language learning styles are the overall patterns that give general direction to learning behavior. In other words students learn differently from one another The term ‘learning style’ has been used to describe an individual’s natural, habitual and preferred way of absorbing, processing, and retaining new information and skills At some point in our lives we have seen or heard people unless they see something, they may fail to comprehend better, such people can be described as “visual” learners, or some of your friends told you that they can remember rules or important information best only when they accomplish such tasks through role-plays or physical action, which can be called as “kinesthetic” type of learners. There are LLs who can learn best by hearing which falls into “aural” style of leaning. Brown states that unlike factors such as age, gender, motivation, aptitude learning styles role is to explain why some L2 learners are more successful than others is has not been fully explained yet. In this small scale research, I want to observe LLs’ language acquisition process and their learning styles. Even though a good number of researches have been conducted into individual learner differences in SLA, very little known about more effective language acquirers’ learning styles.
