Relying solely on classroom learning may not be suitable for all English learners. Using a variety of learning styles through online resources and apps can help engage different types of students and maximize their ability to learn. These tools allow students to personalize their learning approach - active learners can use interactive games and tools while reflective learners benefit from lessons and vocabulary builders. Visual and verbal learners are supported through diagrams, videos, and reading exercises. Many apps also use tests to determine students' levels to provide appropriately tailored exercises.
1. Relying solely on a classroom approach to learning English can
be unsatisfactory for certain types of learners. To maximize a
student’s ability to absorb new information, it is important to
subject them to a variety of learning styles. Internet resources
and apps are the perfect way to reach all students, regardless of their learning needs. By
choosing the type of resources or apps that work for them, the student can create a
personalized program. Active learners can use chat rooms, games, or competitive tools.
Reflective learners can use informative lessons, concentration games, and vocabulary tools.
As for visual and verbal learners, charts, diagrams, YouTube lessons, listen and speak apps,
pictures, and reading exercises, satisfy both types of learning styles. In addition, many online
resources and apps such as Parlo, use diagnostic tests to determine the ESL student’s skill
level before providing appropriate exercises.
