You see that what all this implies is some degree of flexibility on the teacher’s part.
However, we also need to make our learners flexible, to give them the chance of extending the range of their ways of learning – as has been said, we need to help learners “stretch beyond their stylistic comfort zone”. If they are to be successful at school and at work in our society, they also need to learn our specific ways of learning and working, which may look unfamiliar and even puzzling to them. They need to play new roles and learn new approaches. This means that we, as teachers, need to activate the other line of action - adjust students to tasks.
