PROCESS, STYLES AND STRATEGIES

A few words are in order to explain the differences among process, style, and strategy as the terms are used in the literature on second language acquisition.

            Process is the most general of the three concepts, and was essentially the focus of the previous chapter. We all possess in varying proportions, abilities in a multiplicity of intelligences. Process is characteristic of every human being.

            Styles are those general characteristics of intellectual functioning that pertain to you as an individual, and that differentiate you from someone else. So styles vary across individuals.

            Strategies are specific methods of approaching a problem or task and vary within an individual.

LEARNING STYLES

Learning style as a general predisposition, voluntary or not, toward processing information in a particular way. Learning styles also mediate between emotion and cognition. People’s styles are determined by the way they internalize their total environment, and since that internalization process is not strictly cognitive, we find that physical, affective, and cognitive domains merge in learning styles.

FIELD INDEPENDENCE

Field independence is conversely, the tendency to be “dependent” on the total field so that the parts embedded within the field are not easily perceived. Field dependence is also the synonymous with field sensitivity, a term that may carry a more positive connotation. A field independent style enables you to distinguish parts from a whole, to concentrate on something (like reading a book in a noisy train situation), or to analyze separate variables without the contamination of neighboring variables.
