HOW LEARNING STYLES AFFECT LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

Abstract

This article explores the impact of individual learning styles on the process of acquiring a foreign language. Each learner approaches language learning differently—some benefit from visual aids, others from auditory input or hands-on practice. Understanding these preferences allows educators to develop more effective and personalized lesson plans. The article analyzes key learning styles—visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and reading/writing—and how each influences vocabulary development, grammar understanding, and speaking skills. Practical tips are provided for teachers to adapt their instruction to accommodate diverse learners in the language classroom.
