How do I encourage different learning styles?

First, a teacher needs to recognize the different learning styles of individual students. Second, create opportunities for learning differently. Third, give encouragement with positive reinforcement. It is just that simple!

Once, we gave an assignment: Write Characters with Images. The students were asked to self-select six verbal phrases they really wanted to remember, draw pictures of them and write characters next to the pictures.

The assignment came back with four different kinds of artwork:

1.      Abstract graphics;

2.      Computer generated art;

3.      Self-created drawings;

4.      Drawing of images resembling the shapes of the characters.

When learners are given choices in learning and they have more control of the learning process and the content. They feel more comfortable and have more confidence in learning, and they perform with more enthusiasm and creativity, making them learn better.
