    The passage discusses matching learning activities to learning styles and providing activities for different ages.

    Activities involving stories, pictures, and discussion can engage both adults and children as they allow participation at each person's level.

    I agree with the first teacher's comment because learning styles are important to consider when teaching, and an auditory approach may suit that teacher's style.

    FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITIES (See page 240 for answers)

    1 Look at these brief profiles of three learners of English. How might their learner characteristics
    influence how they like to learn and how successful they are at learning English?

    2 Look at the classroom activities and at the list of learning styles on page 72. Match the activities
    with the learning styles they are most suitable for.
    A Giving learners lots of thinking time to answer questions analytic/reflective
    B Touching objects with your eyes closed to describe them kinaesthetic
    C. Solving problems with others group
    D Looking at sentences containing the second conditional, and working out how to form this tense.
    analytic
    E Listening to songs and stories auditory
    F Asking learners to decide on their own homework impulsive
    G Asking learners to brainstorm answers in one minute reflective
    H Doing a role play activity kinaestehetic/group/impulsive
    I Asking learners to imagine a scene and describe it to you visual
    J Asking learners to label a picture visual/reflective
    Which of these activities are suitable for both adults and young children?

    REFLECTION
    Think about these teachers' comments. Which do you agree with and why?
    1 My learning style is auditory and I think most of my teaching is auditory, too.
    2 I spent two lessons explaining learning strategics to my students when they started secondary
    school. They just weren't interested, so I haven't tried it again.
    3 Some of my students are really good at learning things by heart, but I think that's old-fashioned.

    DISCOVERY ACTIVITIES
    1 Observe two of your learners next week and work out which learning style(s) they have. Write a
    description of their learning style(s) and put it in your Teacher Portfolio.
    2 What is your learning style? Find out at:
