Describing learners

 

Hi guys, this is the last blog of the log, I hope you have learned as much as I have.

Describing learners.

They have a need for individual attention and approval from the teacher. They generally display an enthusiasm for learning and a curiosity about the world around them. They find abstract concepts such as grammar rules difficult to grasp.

We shild consider the following aspects:

• AGE
• LEARNER DIFFERENCES
• LANGUAGE LEVELS
• THEIR MOTIVATION
• BACKGROUND*

Children ages 9 to 10 learn differently from older children, adolescents and adults in the following ways:

They respond to meaning even if they do not understand the correct words, they also learn indirectly, by seeing, hearing and touching is a very fast way of learning as it helps them to interact since they do not understand grammatical concepts, in a short time they lose interest about a subject.

Adolescents are considered problem students, they show interest whenever they find a subject interesting and they perform successfully, at this stage it is good to have a good relationship with their teacher, as students are looking for social approval, depending on the trust that is generated between student and teacher can talk about experiences or family issues.

Adults have a better behavior since, due to their maturity, they tend to draw on a series of life experiences, have high expectations in their learning since they want to have a good academic formation.
