The different ways of facing the learning process, depending on the students’ own characteristics and preferences. For instance, some people find it easier to learn with the aid of audiovisual materials, other students prefer to write everything down and others tend to use mnemonic techniques to help them remember new vocabulary, expressions and structures in the L2 they are learning. It is important to be aware of the learning styles which best suit each particular student so that they can make the most of their learning process and obtain satisfactory results.
