1. Study Tips Sheet
-Learning strategies:
Use visual materials such as pictures, charts, maps, graphs, etc.
Write a story and illustrate it.
Have a clear view of your teachers when they are speaking so you
can see their body language and facial expression.
Use highlight pens when you study (sparingly).
Read illustrated books.
Use colour to highlight important points in text.
Take notes or ask your teacher to provide handouts.
Illustrate your ideas as a picture or brainstorming bubble before
writing them down.
Use multi-media (e.g. computers, videos, and filmstrips).
Study in a quiet place away from verbal disturbances.
Visualize information as a picture to aid memorization.
Color code as much as possible.
Use your visualization powers to de-stress by creating a calming
scene in your mind’s eye.
Make lists to use… use being the key word.
Draw pictures to represent a concept you need to remember. A
picture for a visual is worth a thousand words.
Learn computer filing systems that can aid you in getting organized.
Most visuals do well with computers.
Use the O.H.I.O. principle with paper work. Only Handle It Once.
Visuals love to save papers… DON’T. Get your name off junk mailing
lists.
When you’re taking a test, go for the answer that looks right.
Have fun taking care of you and your clothes! Visuals like to look
nice, so go for it, and get that great new hair cut you want!
To remember where you put your keys, visualize them bursting into
purple flames that immediately start to spread all over the surface
of where you set them down. I will guarantee you will remember
exactly where you put them.
Read a textbook and write out answers to the exercises.

2. Puzzle your way through magazine articles on a topic that interests
you, making minimal use of your dictionary. Teen and women's
magazines are often written at a simple level.
Label everything in your house in the target language.
-About Visuals:
Almost all (between 50-65%) of you will be visuals. Your eyes look
up to the left and up to the right a lot. More than likely you are
information people who love to surf the net, read the paper, and go
from book, to book, to book. As you are a visual person you prefer
to wear beautiful clothes rather than comfortable ones.
Do you love to write letters and journal entries? Prefer reading a
textbook to listening to a lecture? Recall things by pictures? Often
see mental images of what people are saying? Understand things
more easily by looking at a diagram? This is the profile of a visual
learner, one who takes in information best by seeing it.
-You are probably a VISUAL learner if you:
- Favor presenters who use transparencies or slides.
- Take many notes during lectures and then rewrite or reorganize
your notes.
- Underline or highlight important information.
- Prefer illustrations, charts, and graphs to help you understand
what you’re reading.
- Fashion strong mental images much like a video or movie when
reading a novel.
