You are an
Auditory Learner

Auditory Learner

Auditory learners, also known as aural learners, prefer to learn through listening, speaking, and hearing. They may read aloud to themselves when studying or trying to remember information.

They enjoy acting and speaking and may prefer to use a recording device to take notes during a lecture or presentation. Auditory learners tend to be outgoing and are not afraid to speak in front of others or ask questions. They often prefer receiving verbal feedback instead of written feedback and are skilled at explaining things and mediating verbal disagreements.

They excel at remembering people’s names and may notice small sound effects and vocalized details that others miss. They may struggle with written instructions, articles, and diagrams and may read aloud or talk to themselves to help understand them.

Auditory learners excel at word associations and other spoken connections, enjoy watching films and excel in group projects where they can present their work.

Begin lessons and presentations with an overview of the process.
Finish a document or presentation with a summary, giving the auditory learner a chance to recap.
Employing the Socratic method of lecturing is a preferred way to help the auditory learner absorb the material presented to them. It allows them to both take information from a lesson and use their own knowledge to fill in the gaps.
Ideation sessions where topics are written on a blackboard, for instance, give them the chance to not only speak their ideas but to see them written down. This triggers memory and often leads to productive deep dives on a specific topic.
Recitation activities also resonate well with auditory learners. The more conversational, the better!
