HOW LEARNING STYLES AFFECT LEARNING LANGUAGES

Bisenbaeva Gulayim ,Abdullayeva Regina , Uzbekistan State World Language University Department of Applied Aspects of English Language

Abstract

Learning styles play a crucial role in language acquisition, influencing how individuals process, retain, and apply new linguistic knowledge. Different learners benefit from varied approaches, including visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and reading/writing styles. Research suggests that aligning language teaching methods with a learner's preferred style can enhance comprehension, motivation, and retention. However, rigid adherence to a single style may limit adaptability in real-world communication. A balanced approach that incorporates multiple learning modalities fosters deeper engagement and long-term success in language learning. Understanding these differences allows educators to design more effective and personalized instructional strategies, ultimately improving language proficiency and learner confidence.

Keywords
