#ELTchat What can we learn from the myth of learning styles? How about variety is not only the spice of life, but the ELT classroom? |
| TeresaBestwick |
2017-03-29T18:04:41 |
@MoreMsJackson Yes, for me it's more about teaching styles than learning styles #eltchat |

In that we should use a variety of different techniques/tasks, not that we necessarily adhere to a particular teaching style #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
2017-03-29T18:06:32 |
@TeresaBestwick may be may be we could mention the unmentionables? which ones do you mean the usual VAK ? or others as well? #eltchat |
| MoreMsJackson |
2017-03-29T18:07:47 |
.@Teresa Eastwick Good point. And a reminder to mix things up with our teaching style every now and then? #eltchat |

Intuitively we feel there's some basis to it, when we were kids I memorized by writing while other classmates recited #eltchat |
| TeresaBestwick |
2017-03-29T18:08:09 |
@Marisa_C intra- and interpersonal as well - there are clearly learners who work better in certain interactions #eltchat |
| LaraCvanti |
2017-03-29T18:08:16 |
I wasn't aware learning styles had been dubunked #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2017-03-29T18:09:40 |
@LaraCvanti I think the 'debunking' was a blanket statement - not clear if all names styles doubted or just VAK which very popular #ELTChat |
| TeresaBestwick |
2017-03-29T18:10:17 |
And this is perhaps more noticeable in YLS - adults adapt to different interactions #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
2017-03-29T18:10:22 |
@LaraCvanti don't feel bad about it - it's still mentioned in some Cambridge syllabuses! #ELTChat |

This #eltchat could get too technical - skeletonisation vs embroidery or broad and narrow categorisers - #eltchat are these useful to Ts? |
| angelos_bollas |
2017-03-29T18:13:15 |
@Marisa_C @LaraCvanti It helps trainees focus on individual Ls' needs, though. I like it there #eltchat |
| LaraCvanti |
2017-03-29T18:14:01 |
@David__Boughton @Marisa_C #ELTChat probably 'cause at some point it had theoretical value as to how we learn or prioritize sources of info |
| David__Boughton |

I love the explanation that someone may think they're an auditory learner, but you you don't learn to drive a car from a lecture. #ELTChat |
| angelos_bollas |
2017-03-29T18:14:37 |
@David__Boughton That would require different set of skills, though, right? #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |

@LaraCvanti @Marisa_C my understanding was it was all promoted by the companies that made the learning style tests. #eltchat |

2017-03-29T18:15:42 |
@David__Boughton Ha ha - true! But the idea was never "You are this ONE type", was it? #eltchat |

@David__Boughton #ELTChat no, but there's usually someone telling you what to do |

I'm curious about Training courses, does the difference btwn auditory learner and being dyslectic come up? #eltchat |

@TeresaBestwick I thought so. Isn't that why they had the discover your learning style tests? #eltchat |

@Marisa_C I remember doing them as a student and using them as a teacher. #eltchat |

instructor asked us to describe a visit to a beach - the frequency of verbs in hear - see - do - touch categories was counted #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
2017-03-29T18:21:55 |
it was interesting because diff ppl used diff percentages of certain verb categories - then did a test and this correlated #ELTChat |
