Improving EFL Classroom Interaction by Understanding Students’ Learning Styles

Abstract

Multiple Intelligences (Gardner, 1993) postulates a standpoint that people may prefer to learn in different ways as a result of their predominance of different lobes. In particular, some deal well with sounds, but others appear to have a good sense of syntactic areas. It is important for the teacher to understand students' learning styles in order to help them improve their language competencies to the most. With a sufficient understanding of students' learning style preferences, teachers can use appropriate strategies and activities in language classes. The research study has proved the matching of teaching and learning styles and the classroom EFL interaction are positively correlated.
