dc.description.abstract |
[eng] It is commonly known that English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students
usually have difficulties when they are asked to comprehend, and specially
produce both written and oral texts. In fact, production skills (speaking and
writing) are known to be the ones with which students have the most problems,
and there are numerous studies that demonstrate this. Therefore, teachers
must maximise all their professionality to facilitate the development of students’
competences related to the English language, and not follow traditional
methodologies that may neither include all types of learners nor bring out the
best of students. Thus, this paper deals with the use of learning styles in the
instruction of speaking and writing skills in EFL classes, with the main purpose
being to eventually apply this methodology to all the skills. Accordingly, based
on the theoretical background, a study will be conducted with 25 first year
Post-Obligatory Secondary Education students with the objective of truly
identifying the benefits and drawbacks of using learning styles in EFL classes.
Finally, based on the results and the opinions of the subjects, who generally
state that this methodology is quite beneficial and necessary, a didactic
proposal that may help students take advantage of their learning styles will be
suggested. |
