3. Pedagogy
■ Pedagogy, is a term that refers to the method of how teachers teach, in
theory and in practice.
■ The main aim of pedagogy is to build on previous learning of the students and
work on the development of skills and attitudes of the learners. Pedagogy
enables the students to get a thorough understanding of the subject and helps
them in applying those learning in their daily lives outside of the classroom.

4. Learners profiles
Within pedagogy, there are four core learning profiles:
■ Auditory learners benefit from listening to the information presented to them
in class. They learn orally from both listening to instruction from the teacher
and audio recordings.
■ Tactile/kinesthetic learners absorb knowledge through touch and movement.
They prefer to work with hands-on devices and learning aids.
■ Visual learners prefer to see information in order to visualize the relationship
between ideas and concepts to understand them.
■ Reading and writing learners prefer to take on information by reading texts.
These learners can further absorb information by condensing and rephrasing it.

5. Stylistics
■ Stylistics is the scientific study of style that determines how readers meet
with the language of, mainly literary, texts in order to explain how one
understands and is affected by texts when reading them.
■ Stylistics examines the creativity in the use of language. It enhances the way
we think about language and its uses. Thus the stylistic process, examining the
creativity of language use, develops our understanding of literature.

6. Pedagogical stylistics
■ Pedagogical stylistics is a field that looks at employing stylistic analysis in
teaching, with the aim of enabling students to better understand literature,
language and also improving their language acquisition. It is also concerned
with the best practice in teaching stylistics.

7. Pedagogical Stylistics as a Branch of
Stylistics
■ Pedagogical stylistics has two aspects . The first one covers the pedagogical
account of stylistics for teaching the features of the language of literature
,and the other includes the role of stylistics in teaching of English language
through literature.
■ The pedagogical aim of stylistics in teaching language and how this language
functions are related to readers’ perspective on the text and its meanings.
Stylistics can help explain how a particular use of language works within a text
and how texts are interpreted and understood by the reader.

8. ■ Hall (2o14:240) affirms that literature can be taught by applying stylistic tools
and techniques, because this can lead to understand and appreciate the
creativity of the language of the text. In addition, stylistics is essential in
creating awareness in the field of education of the foreign and second
language.
■ Cook (2003) demonstrates that literary stylistics proved to be influential in
English foreign language ,because it connects linguistic options to their effect
on the reader , and raises reader’s awareness not only to literary meaning ,
but also to the real situational functions of words. In stylistic analysis many
sentence structures and various grammatical and linguistic tools are involved
systematically to enhance meaning and communicative use of language

9. Types of pedagogical stylistics
Following are the types of pedagogical stylistics:
■ Direct Instruction – A teacher-centered approach where the teacher provides
clear and concise information and students are expected to follow along and
learn through repetition and practice.
■ Inquiry-based learning – Students are encouraged to ask questions and engage
in hands-on activities to develop their own understanding of the subject.
■ Experiential learning – Students learn by participating in real-life experiences
and reflecting on their observations.

10. ■ Project-based learning – Students work on a project that addresses real-world
problems and requires them to apply their knowledge and skills
■ Differentiated Instruction – The teacher adapts their teaching approach to
meet the needs of different students based on their abilities, interests, and
learning styles
■ Collaborative learning – Students work in groups to complete a task or project
and are expected to share their knowledge and skills with each other.

11. ■ Problem-based learning – Students are presented with a real-world problem
and must work together to find a solution, applying what they have learned in
class.
■ Game-based learning – Students learn through playing games and simulations,
which can help them to retain information and develop critical thinking skills.
■ Flipped Classroom – Students watch videos or complete readings at home, and
class time is used for hands-on activities and discussions.
■ Student-Centered learning – The focus is on the needs and abilities of the
students, with the teacher acting as a facilitator to help students reach their
learning goals.

12. The pedagogical value of stylistics
■ Practitioners have claimed that the study of style can be of value to a wide
range of learning situations. Some key overlapping areas in which the value of
stylistics to learning is claimed may be catalogued here:
■ Stylistics can be used to teach literature or at least facilitate the study of
literature, or the study of linguistic creativity more broadly understood.
■ stylistics can support the study of texts in contexts and discourse more
widely, as of genre, register, and sociolinguistics, variation, as well as of the
grammar of standard spoken and written language through its fundamentally
comparative method.

13. ■ stylistics is of value for foreign language or second language learning
programmes where attention to language use should facilitate language
acquisition or where study of language use is value.
■ stylistics can be used to teach language use, language awareness and language
arts as a resource for language users.

14. Importance of pedagogical stylistics
Pedagogical stylistics is Important because It :
■ Helps students to engage with the material in a meaningful way
■ Encourages students to think critically and creatively
■ Supports students in developing the skills they need to succeed in the real world
■ Meets the diverse learning needs of students

15. ■ Promotes a love of learning and a desire to continue learning beyond the classroom
■ Encourages students to take ownership of their own learning
■ Helps teachers to effectively assess student learning
■ Supports student motivation and achievement
Having a variety of pedagogical styles in the classroom can help to create a dynamic and engaging
learning environment that meets the needs of all students. By using different styles, teachers can
help students to deepen their understanding of the material and develop the skills they need to be
successful

16. Method of Implementing pedagogical
Stylistics.
■ Teachers should focus on the purpose of language and its use in different contexts.
■ Teachers should create an environment where students feel comfortable discussing language and its
use.
■ Teachers should provide authentic examples of language use, such as reading assignments or
discussions with native speakers.
■ Teachers should provide a variety of activities to help students practice using language in different
contexts.
■ Teachers should provide feedback on student language use and offer suggestions for improvement.
■ Teachers should encourage students to ask questions and discuss language use with their peers.
■ Teachers should encourage students to use language creatively and to express their ideas in unique
ways.

17. What are the current trends in the
application of stylistics in teaching?
■ Current trends in the application of stylistics in teaching are EFL, ESL and L1.
■ EFL stands for English as a foreign language and it refers to teaching English as a language to
students of different first languages
■ ESL stands for English as a second language where classes are designed to teach a Variety of
language skills to non-native English speakers.
■ L1 is a first language, a native language or a mother tongue which means educators may use it to
help the class function effectively.

18. ■ Stylistic approaches in EFL have advantages which are interaction, motivation, cooperative
learning and evaluation of student’s progress.
■ Cooperative learning helps passive students and low progressive students as well. Group- work
teaches learners to respect other learners and improve their English language skills. If the
atmosphere in a classroom is relaxing, appropriate, then teachers will have success.

19. Conclusion
■ Pedagogical stylistics is a sub-discipline of linguistics that focuses on the study
of stylistic features of language and their use in educational contexts. It
investigates the ways in which language is used to teach and learn in
classrooms, as well as how language can be used to make texts more
comprehensible and meaningful to students.
