Learning+Styles


 * In the beginning of 2011, miss Tetyana N., our English teacher attended one day workshop at the Janet Demiray Resource Center at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy founded at the US Embassy in Kyiv, UKRAINE. **
 * Workshop theme: "Perceptual Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences". **
 * Presenter: Frances Westbrook, Regional English Language Officer, US Embassy in Ukraine. **


 * Miss Tetyana created her own Power Point presentation based on Mrs.Westbrook's presentation, and she shared it with us **** during a face-to-face workshop in **** our firm last year . **


 * For those of you who would like to refresh the knowledge //or// learn about perceptual learning styles, please find and study the file 'Perceptual Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences' here [[file:Perceptual Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences.ppt]]. **


 * In the file (created by miss Tetyana N.), you will find details about **
 * ** visual learners **
 * ** auditory learners **
 * ** kinesthetic learners **
 * ** tactile learners. **


 * We all need to consider individual learning styles of our students if we strive for teaching success as well as learning success of our students. **


 * It is not methodologically correct if teachers force their students to their own teaching styles. **


 * Let us remember, "If the child is not learning the way you are teaching, then you must teach the way the child learns." (Rita Dunn, a learning style expert.) **

As to terms’ interpretation, please see below what we have come to an agreement on: 'Visual Intelligence'; - здатність перважно зорово сприймати інформацію 'Kinaesthetic Int-nce', - переважно моторний тип сприйняття інформації 'Auditory Int-nce', – переважно слуховий тип сприйняття інформації
