What are the different types of learners?

 

 

 

  VISUAL LEARNERS

 like to have visual cues. For example, they prefer reading instructions to listening to them because they understand and remember them better, and they prefer looking at their coursebook to listening to explanations

 

 

AUDITORY LEARNERS

 learn and remember better when they listen. Thus they prefer the teacher to give oral instructions and they remember things they have listened to more easily than things they have read

   KINESTHETIC LEARNERS

 prefer to learn by doing or by experience. They prefer demonstration to written or verbal explanations. They will learn better by being actively involved in a task, by acting, drawing or making something
Other classifications of learning styles focus on how students like to learn

   INDIVIDUAL LEARNERS

 These learners prefer to study alone because it helps them remember and they feel they work more efficiently

   GROUP LEARNERS

 These learners remember more and work more efficiently when they work with other people

   CONCRETE LEARNERS

 like visual and verbal experiences and they dislike routine learning and written work. They like to be entertained and physically involved; they want immediate, varied and lively learning experiences

   ANALYTICAL LEARNERS

 are independent learners who like problem solving and working things out for themselves. They like new learning material to be presented systematically and logically and they like to follow up on their own. They are serious and hardworking, and are badly affected by failure

   COMMUNICATIVE LEARNERS

 like a social approach to learning. They learn well from discussion and group activities, and need personal feedback and interaction. They get on best in a democratically run class

   AUTHORITY-ORIENTED LEARNERS

 relate well to a traditional classroom, preferring the teacher as an authority figure. They like clear instructions and they need structure and logical progression in what they learn
