Some have considered learning styles to be a factor influencing the L2 learning process, while others consider learning styles to be a neuromyth, pointing to a lack of evidence that students learn better through a self-identified learning style.
Research the topic of learning styles. Will you address learning styles in your instruction of ELLs? Why or why not? Cite resources to support your response.
Teachers, like students, have particular learning strengths or preferences. In fact, teachers’ learning strengths often influence their teaching styles. For example, a teacher who prefers to learn through auditory means might tend to present information through lectures and discussions, a decision that might prove disadvantageous for students who have difficulty grasping information this way (e.g, students with auditory processing difficulties, English language learners). Remember that it is helpful for both teachers and students to be aware of their learning strengths or preferences. Click here to assess your preferred learning modality using the Barsch Inventory.
When you have finished, submit a 150-200 word response that outlines what your results were, including your highest score area, and lowest score area. Were any of the results surprising to you? Finally, how might you utilize learning inventories with your own students in the future?

In a separate document, answer the following questions about 2 of your scholarly articles. Then, upload your document here.
Research by David Kolb and others suggests that individuals have different learning styles. How would a manager who has a convergent learning style and a manager who has a divergent learning style differ in their approach to learning? Suppose you are going to conduct training sessions designed to teach managers how to give feedback to subordinates. These 2 managers are scheduled to participate. What might you do (if anything) to handle their style differences to ensure that both of them learn the material you present?
