    Spotlight On Learner Styles:


    Teacher Strategies For Learner Success
    by Marjorie Rosenberg
    Publisher: DELTA Publishing, England, ISBN: 9781905085712
    Reviewed by:
    Sebastian Turnbull, Training Materials Specialist
    at Target Training GmbH
    Let me start by saying that this is a really good book: its informative, practical and, at
    times, inspiring.
    Ms Rosenberg has summarised some of the leading theories on learning styles into
    an easy-to-digest form and has provided lots and lots of mini-lesson plans for styleappropriate activities.
    The approaches to learning styles that are looked at include:
    how we take in information, that is:
    perceptually: visual, auditory or kinaesthetic styles;
    how we process information: globally or analytically;
    and how we react to and deal with this information,
    i.e. the Mind Organisation approach of April Bowie.
    Whats particularly interesting is that these different models are used to analyse
    teaching as well as learning styles. Possible mismatches between the two are
    illustrated via classroom anecdotes, and the author looks at how possible conflicts
    can be understood and overcome. Questionnaires and summary charts are given to
    determine both your learners and your own learning style so that you can decide on
    the appropriate approach to take.
    The tenor taken when discussing these mismatches is reassuringly non-ideological.
    The limits of lesson tailoring are recognised, especially with larger groups, and the
    author is resolute that training is a two-way street. Teachers must certainly adapt to
    learners, but learners must also learn how to learn, and this may involve extending
    and adapting their own learning styles.
    Layout
    The book contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and
    development:
    Part A explains the importance of our preferred learning styles.

    Part B concentrates on activities we can employ to teach more comprehensively and


    enable all our students to become successful learners.
    Part C introduces further approaches, points to further activities beyond the purely
    linguistic, and suggests further reading.
    The book ends with a plethora of lesson plans, all of which will work in practice.
    Theres nothing airy-fairy here, and I get the feeling that all this material has been
    tested in the field and not just by the author.
    All in all, this is one of the better books that Ive seen on the subject and a must-have
    for any staffroom or training library.
