ACTIVITY 1ORGANIZING INFORMATION
• Stand up, discuss and organize yourselves in three groups, according to the activity in your cards.

![Page 4: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ACTIVITY 2GENERATING IDEAS
• In pairs, take turns speaking non-stop for three minutes each.
• Partner A: “What do you know about perceptual learning styles?”
• Partner B: “How can teachers apply knowledge about different learning styles to their teaching?”
![Page 5: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
ACTIVITY 3ORGANIZING INFORMATION
• Fill in the mind map with information generated in the previous activities.
• Share your mind map with a partner and complete the information about learning styles

PRE-WRITING ACTIVITIESAND LEARNING STYLES
• what is the connection?• pre-writing – why is it important?• the writing process• generating ideas and planning are the most
neglected
![Page 8: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
LEARNING STYLES
• “… an individual’s natural, habitual, and preferred ways of absorbing, processing, and retaining new information and skills.” (Kinsella, 1995, p. 171, in Christison, 2003)
![Page 9: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
LEARNING STYLES
• “How a person is likely to perceive and process information and experiences.”
(Mc Carthy, 1980)
![Page 10: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
LEARNING STYLES
• “Cognitive, affective, and physiological traits that are relatively stable indicators of how learners perceive, interact with, and respond to the learning environment.”
(Keefe, 1979, p. 4)
![Page 11: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Learning styles in TESOL
Christison, 2003
LEARNING STYLES IN TESOL
![Page 21: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PERCEPTUAL LEARNING STYLES
• “the perceptual perspective allows us to take into account aspects of several well-recognized learning-style theories by synthesizing their important characteristics into an approach that is based on behaviors and/or actions that can be easily perceived in a classroom situation (Sarasin, 1998).”
![Page 22: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE?
• Read the sentences on the posters• Stand next to the poster with sentences that
best describe your preferred learning style
• Adapted from Barsch http://ww2.nscc.edu/gerth_d/AAA0000000/barsch_inventory.htm• The actual test involves choosing whether the sentences are seldom, often, or sometimes
true
![Page 23: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
VISUAL LEARNERS
Visual learners have two sub-channels
• Linguistic• Spatial
![Page 24: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
VISUAL LEARNERS
visual-linguistic learners• learn through written language, such as
reading and writing tasks• remember what has been written down, even
if they do not read it more than once• like to write down directions• pay better attention to lectures if they watch
them
![Page 25: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
VISUAL LEARNERS
visual-spatial learners• usually have difficulty with the written
language• do better with charts, demonstrations, videos,
and other visual materials• visualize faces and places by using their
imagination and seldom get lost in new surroundings.
![Page 26: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
VISUAL LEARNERS
Pre-writing activities
• mind-mapping for brainstorming• http://bubbl.us• graphic organizers (tree)• videos• slides / illustrations • demonstrations
![Page 27: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
KINESTHETIC LEARNERS
Kinesthetic learners two sub-channels:
• kinesthetic (movement) and • tactile (touch)
• tend to lose concentration if there is little or no external stimulation or movement
![Page 28: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
KINESTHETIC LEARNERS
• When listening to lectures, they may want to take notes for the sake of moving their hands.
• When reading, they like to scan the material first, and then focus in on the details (get the big picture first).
• They typically use color highlighters and take notes by drawing pictures, diagrams, or doodling.
![Page 29: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
KINESTHETIC LEARNERS
Pre-writing activities
• forming groups - organizing• tossing objects• computers and the internet• acting out• changing places / moving around

AUDITORY LEARNERS
• often talk to themselves• may move their lips and read out loud. • may have difficulty with reading and writing
tasks. • often do better talking to a colleague or a
voice recorder and hearing what was said.
![Page 31: Pre-writing and learning styles](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e571cb4c905532d8b4874/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Activity 1 – My weekend
• Work in groups of six. Each person has a connector. Say the first sentence and use the connector in another sentence.

Activity 3 – Global Warming
• Complete the tree with causes and consequences of global warming.
• The trunk of the tree represents the problem. The roots represent the causes and the canopy represents the consequences.
• Share your tree with a partner.

SAMPLE ACTIVITIES
• Activity 1 – auditory – beginners• Activity 2 – kinesthetic - advanced• Activity 3 – visual - intermediate
