LEARNER CHARACTERISTICS
This unit talks about the different characteristics of the learners in order to teach them with many learning strategies according their learning styles.I think that we have to know how many students like to study alone or individual, in groups, if they are visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, spatial and so on. It lets teacher to apply in the classroom . We do not think only in ourselves we have to pay attention in our students because they are learning and they need a lot of attention from us like teachers. Moreover, we do not need to spend a lot of time explaining strategies of how to learn something instead of we will apply with them in the class for example the use of communicative activities like role plays, debates, write a composition, this kind of work helps us to evaluate our students also they need to develop their skills in order to see their process during their learning language. So, the intraction between them and the teacher too helps them to feel confidence. T eahers have to let them to learn all the things that they want and not put any restriction because in that way they express their ideas freely. In the future I would like to apply them a diagnostic test to konw what kind of learning style they have and then I will prepare a lot of material to teach them.

In order to avoid a boring class we need to know all the characteristics of our students. As an example, with kids we have to use a different way of teaching because the get bored easily and rapidly. On the other hand adults come to courses with a variety and range of experiences, both in terms of their working life and educational backgrounds.
