There are a few learning styles that are potentially significant contributors to successful acquisition of the second language. The strategies are field independence.dependence, ambiguity tolerance, left and right brain functioning, reflectivity and impulsivity and visual and auditory styles. All of these fall in the cognitive factors. The cognitive factors can be divided into three sections and there are intelligence and aptitude, learning styles and learning strategies. The learning strategies are metacognitive, cognitive and socio-affective strategies. Why do we need to learn all these styles and strategies?

I wouldn't comment scientifically for intelligence and aptitude, learning styles and learning strategies. As a teacher let me share something. Once I led the class with a unique method. I began to give long and rhythmic breathing exercises to the children and asked them to close their eyes and concentrate the bright light in the forehead and repeat positive affirmations. Then I proceeded with the lesson. To my surprise even the failed students of the previous semester scored 30% of marks in average total and in every subject they scored more marks. Then I truly believed in preparing the children for a better learning. When the brain is purified with the peaceful and rhythmic flow of oxygen they are more receptive to learn and retain the memory.
