Receptive learning
Introduction
In receptive or passive learning, the direction of learning is from written or spoken form to
meaning; we derive knowledge of words through encountering them in text and speech. Most
often receptive learning is associated with learning language through reading and listening.
However, looking up words in a dictionary, matching words with their meanings or definitions,
guessing from context, and watching television and movies are some other examples of receptive
learning activities. Receptive learning contrasts productive or active learning, which is learning
language through using it in speech and writing. The direction of learning in production is from
meaning to form. Some examples of productive learning activities are cloze tasks, sentence
production activities, retelling tasks, and writing essays. Learning from word cards (paired-
associate learning) is the activity most often used in comparisons between receptive.
Auditory: - Auditory learners generally remember what their teacher says and readily participate
in class. They are good listeners and often very social, which means they can sometimes get
distracted from the lesson by everything else going on in the classroom. Auditory learning
methods range from studying with voice recordings to memorizing vocabulary words by
inventing short songs.
Strengths of Auditory Learners
From kindergarten to calculus class, auditory learners will be some of the most engaged and
responsive members of any classroom. Here are some of the strengths that will help them
achieve success in the classroom:
Good at explaining ideas out loud
Knack for understanding changes in tone of voice
Skilled at oral reports and class presentations
Unafraid to speak up in class
Follows verbal directions well
Effective member of study groups
Gifted storyteller
Able to work through complex problems by talking out loud
Reading/writing: reading and writing is a learning style where individuals are able to absorb
and retain the most information through reading and writing text, versus imagery and symbolism.
The primary means of learning for reading/writing learners are through reading lecture notes,
writing essays, reading through textbooks, writing notes, etc. The reading/writing learners prefer
to have information displayed in word and text form, as it is easiest for them to absorb and store
for future use. Teachers and students tend to lean towards reading/writing learning styles. The
ability to read and write well are qualities in a person that are highly sought after, especially by
employers, project leaders, and post-secondary institutions. As well, the modalities in which
reading/writing learning styles present themselves are very common within the school system,
and easy to replicate and distribute.
