Learning Styles
What is a learning style?A learning style is simply a preference for the method by which you learn and remember what you learned.
Where do learning styles come from?Your learning style will be influenced by your genetic make-up, your previous learning experiences, your culture and the society you live in.
Why is it important to know about them?Your learning style will indicate how you (prefer to) learn, the types of learning activities that work best for you. If you know about your own learning style you can be more independent and more successful in your learning.
Is my learning style fixed?You will always have the natural strength in your preferred learning style(s) but you can increase your learning power and use more of your brain by adding other learning style strategies to your preferred style.
NB: Exams are mostly given in the visual, written learning style. Visual input and retrieval strategies work best for those types of exams.
You may have some scores in each of the 3 learning styles but you will usually have a preference for 1 style. If you want to do a very short learning styles inventory to see which your preferred learning style is, go to www.howtolearn.com - you will have to register with your e-mail address. I have done this and you receive further emails from the site, which are easy to ignore/delete. It has not led to any increase in SPAM!

Visual Learning Style• learns best by seeing• neat, orderly• speaks quickly, holds head up, shoulders erect• good long range planners• good spellers• memorises by strong visual associations• functions best with overall view before proceeding• has trouble remembering verbal instructions –unless written down
Auditory Learning Style• learns best through hearing• likes to listen to talks, music or lectures• good story tellers• talks to self• likes talking more than writing• easily distracted by noise –generally can’t listen to someone talk on
phone and listen to another person talking to them at the same time
• may have problems with projects involving visualisation• likes jokes better than comics
Kinaesthetic Learning Style• learns best by doing and through movement• often good athletes• speaks more slowly• memorises by moving around, walking etc..• gestures a lot• doesn’t mind clutter/mess in workspace• using action words when speaking• wants to act things out
Memory Strategies
7
Brain researchers have shown many times that the power of memory is multiplied many times if we connect an association to the picture asking: “What does this sound like/remind me of?”
Word-Picture association1.Choose a word, look at it and say it out loud.2. What does the sound of the word remind you of? (at this stage don’t think of the real meaning of the word, only what the sound of the word makes you think of)3. Now think of the actual meaning of your new word. Create a picture (looking up and to the side) in your mind of your association and the real meaning of the word –make the mental image as humorous and detailed as you can and hold the picture in your mind.4. Now draw the picture –use as much colour as you can as this also enhances memory!5. Now write the word under the picture you have drawn.6. In another colour write the English meaning of the word in the top corner (right or left depending on where your visual memory is) of the card.7. Hold your card up above eye level in your own visual memory position and say the word and the English meaning several times.8. As you are recalling each word, use your visual memory –look upward and to the right/left.
You’ll find some more ideas for improving your memory on the next page.
An association is simply something that is connected to and reminds us of something else.
Author David Sousa says, “Whenever two events, actions or feelings are learned together they are said to be associated or bonded, so that the recall of one prompts the spontaneous recall of the other. The word Romeo elicits Juliet, Batman gets Robin.”

Listening and Reading StrategiesBelow are some ideas of strategies to help you work out the meaning of new words in reading and listening texts. Before you reach for a dictionary, can you use any of these strategies to help?
• Does a word look or sound like an English word? E.g. bleu, professeur, oncle
• Do we know what part of the word means? E.g. chocolaterie
• Which words in a sentence/text do I already know?
• What do the rest of the words in the sentence mean?
• What is the context of the text? Can pictures/titles help?
• Can I spot any synonyms? (words that mean the same/similar)
• Can grammar help? Which tenses are in the text?
• Common sense … what could it mean?
• Can I make an educated guess?

Year 7 Tick grid
}We will add these during the Spring Term and combine with the first 4.
We will add these during the Summer Term and try to produce speaking and writing that includes all these elements.
It’s always important to keep the number of spelling mistakes to a minimum!
What is the tick grid?The tick grid is a tool to help you plan a piece of speaking or writing. You use it to decide what language to use in your work. It is also used by the teacher to mark your work and give you helpful information, for example, how many of each language element you tried to use and how many attempts were successful. It helps you to see clearly how you could improve on each piece for the next time.What is the ? column for?When you plan your work, your teacher will decide with you how many examples of each element you want to include. You write the number in the space provided.What are the smiley/sad faces for?Your teacher will put a line for each correct attempt in the smiley column and one for each unsuccessful attempt in the sad face column. It’s always better to have a mark in the sad face column than a complete blank.

How to say ‘a’ and ‘the’: definite and indefinite articles Masculine Feminine Plural
In normal sentences (subject)
the le la lesa un une des
Rules about adjectives:An adjective is always describing something, and that word is a noun. In French the adjective usually comes after the noun (e.g. a car red, the hair curly). The adjective also ‘agrees’ with the noun…
Adjective endings:If the noun being described is masculine (le / un) then the adjective stays the samee.g. le garçon intelligent_
If the noun being described is feminine (la / une) then the adjective adds an –ee.g. la fille intelligente
If the noun being described is plural (les / des) then the adjective adds an –se.g. les enfants intelligents
You might need to add –es if the noun is feminine and plural.e.g. les filles intelligentes
Key exceptions:Some adjectives don’t follow the rules. The words below will go in front of the noun (like in English).grand: big vieux: oldpetit: small nouveau: new
Some adjectives don’t follow the pattern for endings e.g. blanc - blanche
24
NB: if you use le / la in front of a word beginning with a vowel it is shortened to l’ to make it easier to pronounce.E.g. le + enfant = l’enfant
