Learner needs
Learning
styles are not the only factor that
influence on students´ learning. On a
class each learned have a different personal reasons for studying a target language and this
is motivation, personal
goals (general
or academic
goals) that need to be achieved at the end of the course, all them are expectations from the
learner.
The learners ‘needs vary in length, frequency, class size,
language skills focus on, type of English, teaching methods and strategies. A year preparation
for a TOEFL exam is not the same as a six month course in an English speaking country
focus on social aspect. Teacher can identify it through observation or an
interview with student.
One important aspect is that the teacher cannot meet all
learners´ needs all the time, so teacher can include variety with across lessons as for example
using different kind of activities( role plays on different situation), different
interaction patterns (function).
