Action planning in learning auditory learner roles, styles and strategies

Raising students' awareness
Lesson aims

Write the aims of the lesson on the board at the beginning of each class.

Example:

Animal quiz - to revise names of animals we studied last week.

When introducing the activity as well as explaining what students have to do, explain the reasoning behind it.
Reviewing learning

language learning strategy teacher

Ask students to remind you of what they did in class today and just as important why they think they did it. Get students to keep a learner diary and at the end of each class give the students 5 minutes to compete their diary with entries under these titles:

Today I studied

Today I learnt

One thing I said very well in class today

One mistake I made today

Thinking about learning

Ask students to think about a time when they did something very well at school (it doesn't have to be in English, it could be winning a race) and ask them to tell the class.

Ask questions to try and draw out why they were successful in that activity. As a class try to draw up a list of points, habits, attitudes that lead to success. If you think your students would prefer to write about it ask them to do that.

You could create a wall display together called 'Success in learning'.

Prepare a set of questions for learners to answer.

Questions

Do you revise what you have learnt regularly?

Do you look over your vocabulary notebook?

Do you use a dictionary when you do homework?

Do you do your homework when watching television?

Do you participate in class?

Are you prepared to ask questions if you don't understand?

If you don't understand a word do you forget it or try to work out its

meaning?

Students can then discuss these questions in pairs or as a class.
