Abstract
This paper explores a strategic approach to maximizing student potential and success in language learning through insights from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). By identifying individual personality types, educators can tailor learning plans to align with each student’s unique preferences, enhancing their overall learning experience and outcomes. We will delve into how understanding personality types—such as Introverts, Extroverts, Intuitives, Sensors, Thinkers, Feelers, Judgers, and Perceivers—can inform the development of personalized and effective learning strategies. Attendees will be introduced to specific, actionable techniques tailored to Myers-Briggs personality types, ensuring that the learning process resonates with students' natural inclinations and strengths. The presentation will emphasize the importance of creating learning environments that cater to diverse personality types, fostering greater engagement and facilitating targeted skill development. By implementing these personalized strategies, educators can help students improve their proficiency levels more effectively, ultimately enhancing their performance in language learning. To support these strategies, we have collected data from students over the past decade (2014–2024) through surveys, integrating their MBTI profiles into their learning records. This presentation draws on action research based on these personalized learning plans, summarizing our experiences in maximizing student potential. Through empirical findings, we aim to substantiate the proposed strategies, enhancing their academic and practical value. By leveraging personality-based education, educators can optimize student learning and success, maximizing language proficiency and ensuring that each learner’s journey is both engaging and productive.
