UNIT 13 LEARNER CHARACTERISTICS



LEARNERS CHARACTERISTICS

The learners have different characteristics that influences at the moment of learning the language and the teacher need to focus on them in order to have students'attention. Each student have a particular learning style that identify the way they learn, maybe they are visual (need pictures), auditory (need explanations) and so on. So teacher should apply various strategies in the class to develop all fo them for students, and don't think that the learning style that the teacher has should be applied in the classroom whitout taking into account the students'needs. Also the class should be developed according to the maturity of students based on age, if they are children, you should try to do a lot of activities because of their short attention span, if they are teenagers they pay attention to the form and meaning instead of experiences as children and adults their motivation is councious a diffrence with children and teens. Using motivation, maturity and learning styles, the class will be interesting and students will learn easily because they are learning the language through comfortable activities and students will feel confident.
