Answer the questions in our quick quiz to find out how you learn best! Do you think you learn better by A reading? B listening to lectures? 2 How you prefer to learn from lectures? A I like to make notes during the lecture. B I like to record the lecture and listen again 3 When the teacher uses a new word, you want to see it written A immediately? B later? 4 If you need to memorize something, e.g a formula, a quotation, or a poem, you A write it out several times? B repeat it aloud to yourself and/or other people? 5 When you record new vocabulary, you record the pronunciation? A Hardly ever B Usually 6 Do you ever read aloud to yourself (in your own language or in English)? A Rarely B Sometimes Results Mostly As If you scored mostly As, you are a more visual learner You prefer to see the written word You learn by reading and writing Visual learners often think in pictures If you find a particular task or text difficult, look for sources that will suit your learning style, e.g sources with illustrations, charts, tables, or videos Mostly Bs If you scored mostly Bs, you are probably a more auditory learner You prefer to learn by listening and speaking Auditory learners often learn best from lectures, discussions, by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material Mixture As and Bs If you scored a mixture of As and Bs, like most people you probably learn through a mixture of styles Sometimes you may prefer to learn by reading, at other times by listening Ask yourself which is the best style for the particular task you are doing B Becoming an effective student Learning how to study effectively is an essential skill for students in any discipline There are six areas which are crucial to developing good study habits Work on these and you will become an effective student Targets Always set a realistic work target Don’t try to too much For example, plan to read one chapter of a book each evening rather than think about reading the whole book over the weekend This kind of detailed, planned target is more effective than a vague commitment It is sometimes helpful to tell your friends about your plan This is a good incentive to keep you on target because they will know if you fail! Rewards Develop a system of small rewards for your work For example, stop for a cup of coffee or tea, or listen to a favourite piece of music after one hour’s study Rewarding yourself for keeping to your work plan will make you feel good about yourself Timing Make sure you choose a suitable time to study, i.e when it is quiet and when you are most alert Try to make this a regular, time-tabled part of your day If you plan to start work at a certain time, say 7pm, not find reasons to put off getting started You can watch a DVD later, and your emails are not urgent! Quantity A large task such as researching a new topic for an essay can be daunting – so daunting, in fact, that it can be difficult to sit down and make a start Break the larger task down into several smaller ones For example, make a list of questions that you will have to deal with in your essay, and then approach each question separately This makes the work more manageable Notes and learning styles The books you are studying won’t always present information in a way that suits your learning style It is, therefore, worthwhile spending time making notes and organizing them in a way that suits you best It is also a good idea to keep your notebooks neat and well organized This will make it much easier to retrieve information later Revision Don’t leave revision until the last moment When you set your study targets, allow regular revision time This is much more effective than trying to cram before an exam (280 words) Read STUDY SKILL Read Text B again Write answers to the questions How does the writer think you can develop good study habits? Why is it a good idea to tell other people about your work plans? Why does the writer believe it is useful to reward yourself? What makes one time to study better than another?
