LEARNING STYLES & MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCESFI

First of all we have to say that the various multiple intelligences that exist are not enclosed blocks. So, for example, a person who has a visual intelligence, could also present some aspects from the kinesthetic one.
In the test I results having a visual intelligence. It is true! In fact I use different ways of underscores and I take notes while teacher speaking. Usually I use studying with diagrams or summaries. I like to study in a isolated and quite place.
But I said in the first paragraph that these intelligences are not isolated.
I repeat text out loud, I create mnemonics to aid memorization and I use many examples in order to explain better the facts. I take frequent study breaks (one every hour more or less!) and I underline also with colours or, as I wrote while speaking about the visual intelligence, I underline with different marks. These are all features that refer to auditory and tactile intelligences.
However, despite the way of study, everyone has his better method and everyone retains useful his way.

LESSON 13/03

*Learning Style:

Learning style affects our way of study...
multiple intelligences:
a) visual
b) auditory
c)kinesthetic


*Types of mistakes while speaking:

a) cause misunderstandings
b) block communication
c) don't block communication

-blocks or confuses=false friends/collocation/tense
-doesn't block=3rd person 's'/structure (we have to correct ourselves!)
