Type one: Concrete learners
Teachers also need to be aware of the fact that in a classroom there may be four types of
learners, according to David Nunan (1989, p. 52):
Type one: Concrete learners

These learners tend to like games, pictures, films, video, using cassettes, talking in pairs and
practicing English outside the class.
Type two: Analytical learners
These learners like studying grammar, studying English books and reading newspapers,
studying alone, finding their own mistakes and working on problems set by the teacher.
Type 3: Communicative learner
These students like to learn by watching, listening to native speakers, talking to friends in
English and watching television in English, using English out of class in shops, trains, etc.,
learning new words by hearing them, and learning by conversation.
Type 4: Authoritative-oriented learners
These learners prefer the teacher to explain everything, like to have their own textbooks, to
write everything in their notebooks, to study grammar, learn by reading, and learn new
words by seeing them.
Joke # 1
The Blind Man
A young woman has just undressed to step into the shower when the doorbell rings. She goes
to the door and says, Who is it?
Blind man, comes the reply.
So instead of going to the bathroom for her robe, she opens the door.
Hummmmmmmmmm .. nice body, lady. Where do you want the blinds?
1) What does the woman understand?
2) What does the man understand?
Joke# 2
My father is the greatest
Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging (1) of how great their fathers are. The first one
says:
Well my father runs the fastest. He can fire an arrow (2), and start to run, I tell you, he gets
there before the arrow.
The second one says:
Ha! You think thats fast! My father is a hunter (3). He can shoot his gun and be there before
the bullet (4)
The third one listens to the two and shakes his head. He then says:
You know nothing about fast. My father is a civil servant (5) He stops work at 4.30 and hes
home by 3.45!
