Meeting Differing Learning Styles Of Non-traditional Students In The Second Language Classroom

Abstract

In every classroom a range of learning styles exist. The foreign language classroom at the postsecondary level is no different, with the added component of having students who are traditional (i.e., those just graduated from high school) to those who are non-traditional (i.e., those who have been out of high school for at least a couple of years). The proposed study will discuss ways in which student-centered, active and collaborative learning activities, including the use of technology, can meet different learning styles for both traditional and non-traditional students and provide a successful experience for all.
