This article is about pairing learning styles with educational needs in Turkey. It
also talks about the effect learning styles have on retention of English teachers. It
is important for teachers to make sure all the needs of their students are met. All
students learn in different ways, when trying to teach something like foreign
language teachers need to find the best way for the students to learn. This article
helps to show us the importance of English teachers in other countries and
pairing of learning styles with teaching needs.

This article describes a four year timespan of writing classes at Northern Virginia
Community College. The author teaches an English as a Second Language
(ELS) class there to help students write academic essays. Most students in this
class plan to earn a degree from that college or another four year school.
Students in this class generally have a very hard time writing what it is that they
mean. This paper first looks at the dilemma from the students perspective, like
using proper grammar with difficult vocabulary. It then goes on to discuss the
issues instructors have teaching to ELS learners. The article then has some
solutions to help with this such as a teaching method known as The Trivium.
