• Tactile: 15%

You are an Auditory learner! Check out the information below, or view all of the learning styles.

Auditory

If you are an auditory learner, you learn by hearing and listening. You understand and remember things you have heard. You store information by the way it sounds, and you have an easier time understanding spoken instructions than written ones. You often learn by reading out loud because you have to hear it or speak it in order to know it.
As an auditory learner, you probably hum or talk to yourself or others if you become bored. People may think you are not paying attention, even though you may be hearing and understanding everything being said.
Here are some things that auditory learners like you can do to learn better.

• Sit where you can hear.
• Have your hearing checked on a regular basis.
• Use flashcards to learn new words; read them out loud.
• Read stories, assignments, or directions out loud.
• Record yourself spelling words and then listen to the recording.
• Have test questions read to you out loud.
• Study new material by reading it out loud.

Remember that you need to hear things, not just see things, in order to learn well.


Q. 
What is your reflection about the Week#4 discussion about Motivation

A.
Motivation is the opportunity which do something harder than before. Having motivation is great for me but, the most important thing is to give many people motivation. Those who have motivation about the activities can be more passionate and energetic than those who don't. I won't find rewards  but the thing I really want and intrinsic interest in the job.  After being a teacher, I would love to guide intrinsic motivation to students.
I can think "do I motivated person?" and it really helps me think about my own life through this discussion.

Q.
What materials, tools, and/or sites have been most useful to you as a language learner?

A.
Studying abroad is really helpful for me. I stayed in  Australia for only 10 months. but, that was great opportunity.
I could know their culture, speak with many Australians  and get along with a lot of foreigners.
I think a chance they can speak in English everywhere is better than any materials. I was able to interested in English thanks to the experience.
I recommend that you should go aborad or make foreigners in Korea.

Week#2 Assignments

Q1. Can you think of times when you learned language by the different historical approaches..

- Grammar Translation Method?

- Audiolingual?

- Communicative Language Teaching?

Answer

When I was a student, I learned both Grammar Translation Method and Audiolingual.

I have to comply with teacher's rules and repeat after her in English class at that time.

 

 

Q2. Which have you experienced the most?

Answer

It is necessary for us to have every method. Especially I think we really need Communicative Language Teaching in case of speaking part.

 

 

Q3. Give examples of activities that fit into the different methods. In what ways were they effective or not?

Answer

I used reading method with pauses between phrases when I taught students English in academy. As they stuck on the long sentences, interpret sentences by

punctuating them. This method was effective. It is easy for them to understand many sentences.

 

 

 

 

 

Q4. How do you balance these approaches as a teacher?

Answer

There are 4 parts in English learning. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. I think we should teach them English in different methods depending on each part.
