FLES teachers vary their teaching
styles to ensure that they are engaging the following 8 principal learning
styles of children:
Verbal/linguistic:
Most children learn by talking or writing.
Logical/mathematical: Many learning via abstract symbols, formulas, graphs.
Visual/Spatial: Some children learn best through art projects and visual illustrations.
Body/Kinesthetic: Also many children learn best by moving, using gestures,
dramatization, dance, physical games.
Musical/Rhythmic: Most children learn through songs, chants, and rhythmic
patterns.
Interpersonal: Some children learn best through interpersonal exchanges, or
cooperative learning.
Intrapersonal: A few children learn best by silently reflecting on their thoughts
and feelings.
Nature: Some children learn by making associations related to nature, using
their sensory observations and anticipating processes.
Every FLES student
is issued a student workbook that reinforces the written aspect of the language,
through relational excercises, drawings, coloring, and writing. These workbooks
were created by the FLES Program to compliment our curriculum, thereby incorporating
an integrated educational approach. The workbooks are also useful to parents
to give them an idea of that material their children learn in FLES.
