Transcript for the four types of learning styles:

I will talk about the four types of learning styles and then a few tips or ideas for language classrooms. The four types are visual, which means you learn best by looking at something. The next one is auditory which means you learn best by hearing something. The next one is reading and writing so you learn best by reading and then writing. And the last one is kinesthetic so you learn best by doing something.

For visual Learners, you could have picture cards, timelines, different colours, that kind of thing. So one thing that I love to do for visual Learners is if I'm teaching a grammar point that's related to time, I'll draw a timeline like: now, past, and future and draw some arrows and it really helps students understand. For example, I've been to Japan. That means I've been to Japan at some time in the past but the exact time is unknown so you can really use a timeline to help students understand and that kind of thing.

For people who like reading and writing, things like homework assignments or a reading-focused lesson is ideal for them.

For the kinesthetic learners, I like to have something like a secret box or a bag and I have little objects in there and students have to reach inside and then feel around and they can describe what they're feeling. I feel something long. I feel something soft. That kind of thing and they can even pull out one object and then describe it to the class and then say what it is.

Another thing you can do for kinesthetic learners is taste testing. If you're talking about food, you could bring in some common foods like some grapes or a piece of apple, a piece of chocolate. That kind of thing and you can do a blind taste test and have students describe how it tastes and then also guess what it is.

Those are the four different types of learning styles and how you might try to cover kind of all those styles within your ESL lesson.

I do consider the various learning styles. For me it makes teaching more interesting to come up with the various approaches and I'm pretty sure the students not only benefit but also enjoy class more.
