This study uses the Interactive Learning Model theory to explore the nature of self-awareness within each of three L2 learners. Using the Learning Connections Inventory (LCI), a validated and reliable learning instrument, each participant identified their combination of learning patterns. The subjects then recalled specific L2 learning experiences, relating them in first person narratives. Next, each subject composed anecdotes and reflections based on their narratives. They also participated in one-on-one interviews in which they described their learning experiences during basic L2 learning activities: vocabulary, grammar, writing, conversation, and passive listening during movies, live theatre, spectator sports, and television. Our analysis of the LCI outcomes and selfreported learning experiences demonstrated that the self-awareness gained from understanding their combination of learning patterns and expanded by the self-reflection activities, increased the participants’ ability to articulate the nature of their self-awareness and to identify evidence of their growth in self-awareness during L2 learning.

This article was inspired by the first author’s observations in the teaching process, which refer to different learning patterns in studying a piece of music. I have noticed that although I teach all the students by using quite the same methods, part of them remember the pieces rather quickly and they prefer to play and practise them from memory. Some others, on the other hand, prefer to play from notes, and they continue doing it during the whole learning process. The aim of this article is to find, by an evidence-based method, the occurrence of the abovementioned learning patterns and describe their characteristic features. In case peculiarities occur, which can be projected against the typology of different learning patterns, it is possible to study connections with the earlier learning styles and learning and information processing theories. It also enables us to offer applications for a more person-centred approach in piano pedagogy to enhance both the learning process, student-teacher collaboration, and the student’s development as well as make them subjectively more pleasant for both parties. To investigate the learning patterns in basic piano studies, I video-recorded the classes with students of possibly similar backgrounds, giving them tasks testing their memory and note-reading skills. Based on the analysis of the collected information, I made conclusions about the existence and nature of hypothetical intuitive learning patterns. The interesting observations made by formal and non-formal examination add material for future in-depth studies, as the described phenomenon should be approached, above all, as a continuum, which enables us to estimate students’ inclination towards one or the other side to a greater or lesser extent, and consequently, the application of a better adapted teaching strategies.

The subject of the article is the influence of neurobiological and cultural factors on the ways of acquiring and processing information, which in turn determine the choice of learning methods. The paper discusses the issue of hemispherical preferences in the educational context. The starting point of the research is the thesis that individuals using Mandarin as their native tongue and raised in the Chinese culture prefer those ways of acquiring knowledge which activate the right cerebral hemisphere. The research presents the results of observations and interviews held with students from China who have been learning Polish as a foreign language, about the learning methods and techniques that they use. The research conclusions have been interpreted on the basis of the cultural factors (native tongue and social practices) that are particularly conducive to choosing right-hemisphere strategies in the learning process.

Niniejszy artykuł podejmuje kwestie wpływu uwarunkowań neurobiologicznych oraz czynników kulturowych na sposoby zdobywania i przetwarzania informacji, co z kolei determinuje wybór sposobów uczenia się. W artykule omówiona została kwestia preferencji półkulowych w kontekście edukacyjnym. Podstawą wywodu oraz przyczynkiem do podjęcia badań sondażowych jest hipoteza, że osoby wychowane w kulturze chińskiej i posługujące się językiem mandaryńskim jako ojczystym częściej stosują strategie prawopółkulowe niż przedstawiciele kultury Zachodu, których język ojczysty różni się znacząco od mandaryńskiego w zakresie systemu fonetyczno-fonologicznego, leksyki, pisma oraz gramatyki. W części badawczej zaprezentowano wyniki obserwacji i badań sondażowych przeprowadzonych wśród słuchaczy studiów polonistycznych pochodzących z Chin. Podstawowy cel obserwacji stanowiła identyfikacja stosowanych przez nich metod i technik uczenia się. Wnioski płynące z badań zostały zinterpretowane w oparciu o czynniki kulturowe (język ojczysty i praktyki społeczne), które w sposób szczególny mogą wpływać na wybór strategii prawopółkulowych w procesie uczenia się języka obcego.
