Introduction

Development

Learning styles refer to “an individual’s natural habitual, and preferred ways of
absorbing, processing, retaining new information and skills.

Teaching Strategies refer to caracteristics we want to stimulate in students through

different methodologies of teaching in an effective learning process, to enable them to
become more proficient learners. Diverse learning communities •Determine what’s best
for your students.

Learns best when information is presented in context. They are often more fluent language
learners field independent — learns most effectively step-by-step and with sequential
instruction. They are often more accurate language learners.

Personality styles, tolerance of ambiguity: refers to how comfortable a learner is with

uncertainty; some students do well in situations where there are several possible
answers; others prefer one correct answer.
 Personality Styles Right and Left Hemisphere Dominance: Left-brain dominant learners
tend to be more visual, analytical, reflective, and self-reliant Right-brain dominant
learners tend to be more auditory, global, impulsive, and interactive.

Metacognitive Strategy: Planning: Previewing main ideas, making plans to accomplish a

task paying attention to key information seeking out and arranging for conditions to
promote successful learning. Evaluating: Developing the ability to determine how well
one has accomplished the task Monitoring: Self-checking ones comprehension.

Summarizing: Saying or writing the main idea Induction: Figuring out the rules from
samples of language Imagery: Being able to visualize a picture and use it to learn new
information Auditory Representation: Mentally replaying a word, phrase or piece of
information Making Inference: Using information in the text to guess the meaning Using
Inference: Developing the ability to use reference materials.

Grouping: Classifying words, terminology, quantities, or concepts Note-Taking: Writing

down key word and concepts in verbal, graphic, or numerical form Elaboration of prior
knowledge: Relating new to known information and making personal associations.

Cooperating: Learning how to work with peers- completing a task, pooling information,
solving problem, and obtaining feedback. Clarifying: Learning how to ask questions to
get additional explanation or verification from the teacher or someone else who might
know the answer Self-Talk: Reduce anxiety by talking positive to oneself.

Difference between style and strategy.

Style

Is something that we bring into our being.

Example, we have to teach according the Dominican currriculo and our types of planning, but
maybe I begin different that you do it. We normal begin doing a dynamic, but into the dynamic I
can add something special to enrich it and make it beautiful and at the same time make feel the
student happy.
 Already into the development I can also do different than others teachers, I can draw figures
that can make easily to understand the class.

Strategy

Is how I do with different kinds of methods to introduce it the class, causing a high
learning in the students, as in those who catch the learning quickly as in others who are
slower. Other for strategy is teach the students to read by figures and later teach every
letter of those firures, while other teach both at the same time.

Cognitive strategies
are those operations that allow to act directly in the subject to be learned. They are
referred to the steps or operations used in the solution of problems that require a direct
analysis, transformation or synthesis of the learning materials (Rubin, 1987). They are
mental processes that are directly related to the processing of information in order to
learn, collect, store, retrieve and use the information. The repetition of language models
and the writing of information presented orally are examples of cognitive strategies.

Meta cognitive strategies

they are general learning strategies that allow one to reflect on one's own thinking.
Once we have begun to think about learning, it is possible to notice how it is being
learned and how this can be enhanced to do it more efficiently. The more general
metacognitive strategies allow to organize / plan the way of learning in order to learn in
a better way. They also allow you to establish your own rhythm of learning, since they
help determine how you learn in a better way and allow you to look for opportunities to
practice and concentrate on the task avoiding distraction. Another function of meta
cognitive strategies is to verify progress, this points to reflect on the way in which a task
is being worked on. Ask yourself about, am I understanding what I read? Or does it
make sense what I'm doing? They help to reflect on this aspect. Finally, the possibility of
evaluating the process allows to appreciate how well the task has been developed, how
effectively the learning strategies have been applied and how effective they were.

Affective strategies

are those actions used to manage the effects related to learning in general and, with study, in particular.
They allow the student to regulate the attitudes, motivation and emotional reactions towards the
learning of the target language in certain situations, they are performed operations that serve to
manage motivation and regulate anxiety in the face of learning and study. This strategy is important
because to study and learn is not enough to know how to study, it is necessary to be interested in doing
it and to control the emotional interferences that could alter the cognitive processes. Although these
strategies may not be directly responsible for knowledge or activities, they help create a
context in which learning is effective.
Social strategies

are related to cooperation with other students and to seek the opportunity to interact
with native speakers. These strategies contribute indirectly since they do not lead to the
obtaining, storage, recovery and use of the language, but are related to those activities
in which the student has the opportunity to expose himself to certain situations where he
verifies what he has learned through of the interaction.

Teaching and learning performance.

One of the principal keys in the teaching and learning performance is the significant learning, its
need to teach giving example, using the environment that surrounds us. The students learn
easier when you try to know and socialize with them, the class becomes more exciting. It nees
to be a hard teacher, it’s truth, but you need to take them to the court and use the baskeball as
a significant learning and take advantage of that teaching them about different kind of sport and
athletes.

Some recommendations to learn English easily.

My recommendation to learn English easily is being relaxed, don´t be afraid to talk much. Find
out for many information like tutorials on internet as on youtube.com, but also is very important
study with a good teacher who know how he is doing, how to improve quickly and easy. Pay
attention to the class and work hard, study hard and make all the tasks and dedicate enough
time to study.
 Conclusion

The learning of a language is a hard task who require of much time, love and dedication, is
necessary not be conform just with your teacher teach you, it requires of a lot of time and work,
because you have to be active trying to talk what you are learning and at the same time looking
for more, and more. Is important to say that to everything it’s need love, work and dedication,
and later continue in the way until reach the goal.
