Left- And Right-Brain Dominance

Left- and right- brain dominance is a potentially significant issue in developing a theory of second language acquisition. Nevertheless, the left/right contruct helps to define another useful learning style continuum, with implication for second language learning and comprehension.  Stevik (1982) concluded that left-brain dominant second language learners are better at producing separate words, gethering the spesifics of language, carrying out sequences of operations, and dealing with abstraction , clasification, labeling, and reorganization, Right-brain dominant learners on other hand, appear to deal better with whole images (not with reshuffling parts), with generalization, with metaphors, and with emotional reactions and artistic expressions.

Reflectivity and Impulsivity

          It is common for us to show in our personalities certain tendencies toward reflectivity sometimes and impulsivity at other times. Psychological studies have been conducted to determine the degree to which, in cognitive domain, a person tends to make either a quick or gambling (impulsive) guess at an answer to a problem or a slower, more calculated (reflective) decision.

Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Style

Visual learners to prefer reading and studying chart, drawings, and other graphic information. Auditory learners prefer listening to lectures and audiotapes. And kinesthetic learners will show a preference for demonstrations and physical activity involving bodily movement. Research findings on learning style underscore the important of reorganizing learners varying preference.
