Auditory Learning Style“Auditory learning is a learning style in

which a person learns through listening. An auditory learner depends on hearing and speaking as a main way of learning”

2. Characteristics of Auditory Learners

Auditory Learners– MUST hear things to have the best chance of learning – Generally, they will remember 75% of what they hear – Enjoys listening rather than writing or reading – Like to be in a discussion (group / open) – Understand better if they hear information first, then

speak.

3. Strengths & Weaknesses

3.1. Strengths – Remembers what they say and what others say very

well – Prefer to discuss immediately when they don’t

understand – Enjoys the opportunities to listen to long speeches– Love to participate in discussions – Verbally expresses enthusiasm and interests (after

listening)

3.2. Weaknesses – Finds it difficult to work quietly for a long period of

time – Easily distracted by noises (which attracts), but also

easily distracted by long silence

How to Enhance Auditory Learners’

Learning?

How to Enhance? As a teacher…– Activities that encourages all pupils to work together (practice

communicate) where everyone can develop listening skills– Example of activity: “Back to Back” and auditory

discrimination – Make good use of Listening & Speaking lesson to help

auditory learners to practice learning language – In a lesson, make sure A.Ls are in the position where they can

hear well

How to Enhance? - Pair / group study or discussion (talk and listen ) - Drilling activity - repetition- Read aloud (individual or choral) – A.L need to hear the words

as they read, so that they can better understand what they read

- Storytelling activity: Re-phrase points and questions. Vary speech speed, volume, pitch to help create interesting aural textures

- Integration of music (musical instruments) - Integration of ICT (interactive / any multimedia applications)
