Accommodating Student Learning Styles

I liked this article because it emphasizes the point that students have different learning styles, and even though we cannot accommodate every single learning style, we can try to use as much as we can that is in our “bag of pedagogical tricks”. Teachers cannot simply use one teaching style all the time; for example, lecturing every class would be terrible for other students who learn best by other means like collaborative learning and experiential methods. It is important for teachers to “tailor reading and writing assignments to intelligence types”.  But I wonder if composition/English teachers have any training in such areas. To have knowledge of the different types of learning styles is invaluable to the composition teacher.
