A learning style is one’s preferred method and way of learning. Individuals who prefer to learn new material through hearing and listening are called auditory learners.
In order to determine whether you’re an auditory learner, try asking yourself the following questions:
Do I prefer speaking and listening to reading and writing?
Do I better understand English if it’s in spoken form rather than written?
If your answers are affirmative, it is likely that you are an auditory learner.
Auditory learners better understand, absorb, and store new information if it’s shared and explained verbally. If this is your style, it’s a good idea to read new words, instructions, texts, and other ESL content aloud. You could also try shadowing to improve your pronunciation. In terms of presentations, a good tip is to record yourself on your phone or another recording device and listen back to the recording. This will allow you to notice any problematic areas such as long pauses or lack of tone variation.
