DIVERSITY OF
LEARNING
STYLES
Students have unique ways of
learning that combine cognitive,
social, and physiological preferences.
These styles are shaped by both innate
traits and experiences, including
previous education, which influence
their approach to tasks. Understanding
these differences, especially in how
students engage cognitively and
affectively with language learning,
can help teachers tailor their methods
to improve L2 acquisition.
Motivation can be intrinsic or
extrinsic, both types can affect a
learner's engagement and
persistence.

MOTIVATION Intrinsic: Driven by


interest or enjoyment.
personal

AND Extrinsic: Influenced by rewards or


external recognition.
ATTITUDE
Addressing attitudes towards
language learning is crucial.,
negative experiences or a lack of
self-confidence can impact
performance.
PRIOR
KNOWLEDGE
AND
EXPERIENCES
Students come with different levels of
prior knowledge, making lesson planning
challenging. It can be difficult to adapt
the content to be suitable for everyone,
ensuring that no students feel bored or
overwhelmed.

Teachers must gauge students’ existing


knowledge to provide appropriate
scaffolding, ensuring that lessons build
on what students already know while
introducing new concepts gradually.
AFFECTIVE
FACTORS
Emotional states like anxiety, fear of
making mistakes, and low self-esteem
can hinder language learning,
especially in speaking and listening
activities.

Teachers should aim to create a safe


learning environment where mistakes
are seen as part of the learning
process. Techniques like pair work,
role-playing, and providing positive
feedback can help lower anxiety
levels.

Building trust and showing empathy


are crucial in helping students feel
comfortable taking risks in language
use.
SOCIOCULTURAL
CONTEXT

influence their language learning
experiences, including the kinds of

AGE AND
DEVELOPMENTAL
DIFFERENCES
Language acquisition varies by age.
Younger learners naturally absorb
language through play and interactive
activities, needing concrete examples
due to undeveloped abstract thinking
skills. Older learners benefit more
from explicit grammar instruction and
structured practice. Teachers should
use age-appropriate methods and
materials to match learners'
developmental stages and keep them
engaged.
