In adult education, one of the important aspects would be to determine your learning style as the methods of learning that we adapt would have to tally with the learning style that you are most comfortable with. Among the different learning style auditory learner will be a person who learns best through listening or when there is an auditory input from the background. They tend to love lecture sessions as they can comprehend it better than reading a book or else by looking at a picture or a diagram.

As with any other
learning style, unless we actively engage in the same, the resulting learning would not be effective. Therefore, in order to be a good auditory learner, you have to adapt various ways which will make use of your ability without disrupting the other learners whom would be comfortable with another type of learning style.

Let us now see some of the measures that can be taken by an auditory learner to enhance their learning through better use of their skills.

• Following obtaining permission from your lecturers, record the lecture sessions and tutorial classes for later reference. This can be an effective method of recalling the learning that took place and for auditory learners; it might be a very important study method.

• Take an active role in the learning process and lead the way in asking questions as well as to respond to questions directed at the class by the tutors.

• Volunteer yourself for classroom activities in order to gain the better auditory input.

• Participate actively in class discussions and form a group with fellow students whom you think are also auditory learners which would gain through the same experiences as you do.

• Read aloud the material, assignments…etc in order to comprehend better.

• Make available background music while studying without disturbing the others who study with you whom might not be gaining anything from such measures.

• Discuss your strengths and preferences with your teachers and formulate a plan of action in order to gain better from the learning activities through the auditory means. Such discussions may promote the teachers to provide more auditory reinforcement while the learning activities are going on as well.

• If it is useful, integrate singing or rhythmic wordings to assimilate more auditory input in the learning process.

When these elements are integrated in your learning activities, you would reinforce the auditory learning abilities within you and thereby would be able to learn better than without such reinforcement. At the same time, it should be remembered that, there can be other measures that a person can adapt in order to be a better auditory learner which at times be unique to a particular person.
