Learning to Learn... with Style is rooted in a concern for increasing the chances of success for adult learners who have not previously experienced success in school. Through illustration, description and example, it offers an introduction to learning styles concepts for adult learners and provides them with tools to begin to recognize their own behavior and to make the most of their personal style strengths.
Instructors do not need any previous knowledge of learning styles to use Learning to Learn... with Sty/e with their students. This teacher's guide provides background information on learning styles, model lesson plans, follow-up activity ideas, and a bibliography of recommended resources.
Learning to Learn... with Style is designed to be adaptable to various class structures. It can be used with whole classes, in small groups, or on an individual basis. The information presented is intended to be accessible to a wide variety of adult learners. However, learning styles theory has not been validated with second language learners; cultural and linguistic factors could interfere with the satisfactory use of this learning styles package.
Learning to Learn... with Style consists of four parts:
- this teacher's guide,
- a video illustrating learning styles concepts and introducing psychological types and vocabulary,
- a student guide with a learning styles indicator, profiles of the styles and strategies to use in work, in school and in personal relationships followed by suggested extension activities,
- an audio version of the student guide for new or vision-impaired readers.
