tend to respond better to oral comments by the teacher, than to written comments. They need to establish verbal contact with people.
- They like dialogues, discussions and plays.
- They use rhythm and sound as memory aids
- They can repeat information given in a verbal way with a high degree of accuracy after only a few repetitions.
- They always chatter, whisper, talk.
It is important to note that auditory learners have not only a preference for perceiving information through the auditory channel; the auditory preference also involves how information is processed and retrieved: they have a preference for remembering what they have heard, what they have read aloud.
SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR THE TEACHERS
Use songs, jazz chants, chain games or drills; let time to class discussions; promote storytelling.
Suggest your students to study with a friend, whenever possible; to read out loud their notes and then read them silently, trying to hear the teacher’s voice in their mind’s ear; when studying at home, to try to be away from noisy places; to set important items to music and sing them to themselves (when they want to remember the items, hum the songs).
