The Learning Styles

Let’s look at some ways you can retain the richness of social learning as you make the move to online.

The magic of people in learning

Well-designed face-to-face learning has some great features going for it:

1. Stories and example sharing: rich sources of learning that tend to stick in people’s minds
2. Observations: people can practice a skill and be observed by peers or an expert, who provide feedback
3. Collaborative learning: where people work together on a task and learn from one another
4. Expert guidance: facilitators who provide knowledge, demos, and feedback
5. Competition: there might be some competitive elements that encourage learning to take place. Whether it’s formal or informal, people often try to perform well in front of peers, especially when given tasks to complete and share with others
6. Informal learning: never underestimate the power of the ‘down time’ chats and the networking that inevitably take place— these all work toward the learning goals

The big question is WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE???

What is simulated immersion?

Simulated immersion is based on the idea that the best way to improve your listening is to be immersed in the target language in a native speaking environment. In the absence of such an opportunity, we try to simulate the conditions that make immersion favorable.

 Those conditions are:

• Large amounts of time spent simply hearing the language - several hours per week rather than mere minutes spent in a typical class

• Maximal exposure to authentic texts

• Exposure to a wide range of situations and language forms

• Emphasis on bottom up processing to aid in real-life scenarios

Practical ideas

This is my daughter listening.

Hearing versus listening
In class, teachers invariably set tasks to accompany ‘listenings’. This is understandable - it would be a bit weird to simply press play and hope the students got some value from it.

But simply hearing a language - being exposed to it in the background, in the car, on the radio or TV, or in the form of music, for example, is extremely valuable. It’s a much looser, less structured form of practice than is found in class, but it acclimatizes the learner to the sound systems and structures of the language. I will call this type of listening passive listening.
