Learning Styles(學習方式)

         Learning Styles

      Educators have known for a long time that people learn in different ways. That is why teachers present information in various forms. For example, as well as explaining a new language, language teachers often provide other learning experiences such as books, charts, videos, audio cassettes,songs, debates and group work. In this way, all students in a class have an opportunity to learn in the way that best suits them.

     In the last 50 years or so, researchers have been studying learners in an attempt to identify all the

possible learning styles that humans use. They have found that we can very roughly divide people into three groups    those who learn best through seeing, those who learn best through listening and those who learn best through moving, doing or touching.

     Some research has identified eight distinct learning styles, and researchers have made up tests to find out which of these learning styles best suits different people. These tests show that, although most people have one dominant style of learning, they are also able to use other learning styles effectively. Some people even seem to have many different learning styles.

     The advantage of knowing what kind of learner you are is that you can then study in the way that best suits your learning style.

  學習方式

    長期以來教育家們就知道人們的學習方式不盡相同。這就是為什么教師要以不同形式為學生提供信息。譬如，除了講解新的語言外，語言教師還時常會運用書本、圖片、錄像、磁帶、歌曲、辯論和小組討論等形式，提供其他學習體驗。這樣，班上所有學生都可以有機會以最適合自己的方式進行學習。

    在過去的大約5()年中，專家們對學習者進行了研究，力圖弄清人類使用的所有可能的學習方式。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)人們的學習類型大致可分三種：最佳視覺型、最佳聽覺型和通過活動、操作或觸摸取得最佳效果的類型。

    一些研究還區(qū)分出入種不同的學習方式，并且研究者還使用測試手段試圖發(fā)現(xiàn)不同的群體最適于哪種學習方式。這些測試表明，雖然大多數(shù)人具有一種主要的學習方式，但也可以有效使用其他學習方式。有些人甚至似乎具備多種學習方式。

    知道你屬于哪種學習類型的人的好處在于----你能運用最適合自己的學習方式進行學習活動。
