The document discusses learning styles, strategies, and vocabulary learning techniques. It defines learning styles as an individual's approach to taking in and processing new information. The three main styles are visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic. Learning strategies are purposeful steps used to comprehend, recall, and apply knowledge. Examples include note-taking, repetition, and questioning. Vocabulary learning techniques involve using new words in context, relating them to prior knowledge, and using dictionaries, among other methods.

3. “The manner in which individuals

(Cassidy, 2004).
“The way an individual perceives,

5. Visual
Is also referred to as the visual-spatial
style. People who favor this style
prefer to use colors, images, maps,
charts and graphs to communicate and
organize information.
6. Auditory
Is one in which the learner
interprets meaning and solidifies
understanding through the form
of active listening.
7. Tactile/kinesthetic
The tactile learning style is almost always joined
with the kinesthetic learning. Both styles involve
bodily movement, and are very similar, but the
tactile style is more moderate. it involves the
sense of touch, and fine motor movements,
rather than the large, whole-body movements
seen in the kinesthetic learning style. The Tactile
Learning Style takes in information through the
sense of touch and feeling, and generally has
good eye-hand coordination.
