Auditory learners resort more to learning by ear. These learners process information easily by

hearing rather than reading. By knowing how a student learns confidently, a teacher can make

sure to mold their lessons plans to the best way possible, especially for an ELL student. For an

ELL student who best preforms with audio, the teacher can use open ended class discussions for

the student to participate and hear other ideas to store in their memory. It is also a good idea to

put auditory learners closer to the front of the classroom and away from distractions so their

focus can be on you, the teacher. By reading aloud all directions, stories and creating discussions

benefits the auditory learners. As a teacher good examples of helping those types of learners are

by calling on them to answer questions aloud. The teacher should create lesson plans that include

a social element.
Part 2: CONCEPTUAL

Conceptual understanding is when children can grasp ideas in a transferrable way. It can help

students take what they learn in class and apply it across domains without needing real-life

application to understand the concept. By constructing theories and ideas, these types of learners

are able to grasp onto the concept being taught. These students prefer reading, writing and

analyzing strategies. For example, learners like this enjoy discovering why a formula in math

works and the theory behind it.

Part 3: VERBAL

A verbal learner has trouble positioning things in space. They prefer to learn through verbal

and language skills to grasp concepts. For an ELL student, using verbal teaching and writing

activities will help the student grasp the current curriculum better. As a teacher, asking the

students to discuss and present aloud will help to grow their minds. Role-playing is a good way

to get the children to interact with each other. It can help the new ELL student become

comfortable in the new school and classroom.

Part 4: SOCIAL

A social learner prefers to work directly with classmates and instructors. These learners are

very socially comfortable, and people orientated. By learning in pairs or with their peers, these

learners grasp concepts easily. For an ELL student, working in pairs and hearing different ideas

will help grow their education. This will also allow them to be interactive with their classmates

and make more friends who are like them.

Part 5: CREATIVE

Creative learners use their imagination and innovation to learn. They are not afraid to take

risks with their mind and they prefer to learn through discovery and experimentation. As a

teacher of an ELL student, it would be a great idea to incorporate some type of art or music into

the program. A good rhythm or fun video will make things so much easier for the children to

remember. Having the children work creatively with their mind will also give them free reign on

how to remember things best for themselves.
