  • Auditory learning is a learning style in which a person learns through listening. They may struggle to understand a chapter they've read, but then experience a full understanding as they listen to the class lecture. An auditory learner may benefit by using the speech recognition tool available on many PCs. Auditory learners may have a knack for ascertaining the true meaning of someone's words by listening to audible signals like changes in tone. When memorizing a phone number, an auditory learner will say it out loud and then remember how it sounded to recall it. Auditory learners tend to: Read to self out loud. Not be afraid to speak in class. Like oral reports. Be good at explaining. Remember names. Notice sound effects in movies. Enjoy music. Be good at grammar and foreign language. Read slowly. Follow spoken directions well. Have trouble keeping quiet for long periods. Enjoy acting, being on stage. Auditory Learners Can Benefit from: Using word association to remember facts and lines. Recording lectures. Watching videos. Repeating facts with eyes closed. Participating in group discussions. Using audiotapes for language practice. Taping notes after writing them. Worst test type: Reading passages and writing answers about them in a timed test. Best test type: Auditory Learners are good at writing responses to lectures they’ve heard. They’re also good at oral exams, effectively by listening to information delivered orally, in lectures, speeches, and oral sessions. Auditory learners make up about 20% of the population. Auditory learners use phrases such as "Sounds good to me," and "It's starting to ring a bell. " When describing memories they will often focus on the sounds they heard, or what people were saying. It is believed that when an auditory/verbal (i.e. listening to information delivered orally) learner reads, it is almost impossible for the learner to comprehend anything without sound in the background. In these situations, listening to music or having different sounds in the background (TV, people talking, etc) will help learners work better. Auditory learning can also be considered a different style of learning. Some people are visual learners, some kinesthetic learners, some tactile learners, and some are auditory learners. This is explained as a person who depends on hearing and speaking as a main way of learning. Auditory learners must be able to hear what is being said in order to understand and may have difficulty with instructions that are written. They also use their listening and repeating skills to sort through the information that is sent to them.
