Learning preferences refer to the ways individuals prefer to learn, such as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic methods. Learning challenges, however, are obstacles or difficulties individuals may face in the learning process, such as attention deficits or language barriers.

Understanding language and literacy is crucial for instructors teaching diverse groups because it enables effective communication and ensures all students can access and comprehend the material, regardless of their primary language.

Intercultural communication considers each student holistically, integrating their unique experiences into the curriculum. The essential approach is to familiarize oneself with and involve every student.

An instructor should recognize that diverse groups of adults have varied learning styles, cultural backgrounds, and experiences. They should avoid stereotypes and instead focus on individual strengths, preferences, and needs to create an inclusive learning environment.

Comment on Gregory Jorgenson's post: Building student confidence through hands on labs that match what the student will experience in the real word is paramount to building the intrinsic motivation necessary for success. We the instructors must be flexible in our material delivery so we can be successful with our training.

Comment on Gregory Jorgenson's post: Spot On. We as instructors must be willing to be flexible and be willing to accommodate the various students that come to us to learn new skills and create a new career away from the military. 

Instructors can adjust their delivery to increase the engagement of their students.
