"Describing learners"

Welcome to my last entry for this semester. I remember this was a short class because we had to go to a call center job fair meeting. 😂

So, as we know, we have been learning about different learning studies and learners. The learners may differ based on their age, their language levels, motivation and differences. 

Ages:

Young children: They are up to 9 or 10 years old and they learn differently, as they generally show enthusiasm and respond to meaning even if they don't understand single words. Their understanding comes from what they see, hear and, above all, what they have the opportunity to touch and interact with. 

Adolescents: They tend to be disruptive learners, yet when they find the purpose of the activity, they are often successful at it and are engaged and passionate when they like what they are being taught. And when they feel comfortable, they are willing to talk about their experiences. 

Adults: Because of their age, they have expectations about their learning process and tend to be more disciplined. Therefore, they have a particular understanding of what they are learning. 

Learner Differences

Based on their differences we have Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles. Students may have different abilities that make them good in different areas and have different ways of learning what works best for them. 

Language Levels

For their language levels, in the case of English they can be classified according to the levels established by the Common European Framework. They range from basic: A1, A2; intermediate B1, B1; and advanced level, C1, C2. All of them have different skills that are developed over time.

                                        

Motivation

And finally, we have motivation. It is what has driven each learner to learn, what has motivated them and everything can vary from their goals, what they hope to achieve or what they want to become, also the people they have been influenced by, what society expects of them or what they think they have to do to satisfy society and some may be learning something new just out of curiosity.

Some factors that elicit motivation:

*The goal

*The society we live in

*The people around us

*Curiosity

That's all from my side. Thank you so much for everything.😊
