From Learning Styles to… LifestylesWhy do students nd learning dicult? Why some hate it altogether? Who is toblame? Which seems to be more important: “What” we learn or “How” we learn? In oursession we are going to address these and some more questions, investigating theeld of Learning Styles. During the rst part of the session we are going to analysethe individual learning styles learners may develop and how we are able to identifythem either interactively, using particular instruments that do so orempirically,through observation and normal classwork. In the second part we are going totalk about classroom activities that can cater for these styles promoting individuallearning. The main premise is that optimal conditions for language learning occurwhen the preferred (learning) style matches the learning environment, the methodsand the resources oered.

practical examples of tasks that meet tagged objectives. Reference to criteriaidentied in the Cambridge Common Scale of Writing will be made throughout.

We will also focus on the relationship between writing work and other skills’ work,done in class, and ways of closely integrating writing input in the classroom with

extended writing work done out of classroom. A variety of techniques for giving

feedback on learners’ writing will be touched upon, as well as how varying formsof feedback can develop more reective writers.
