Understanding Learning Styles in Second Language Acquisition

Abstract

This case study investigation appertains to modality 2: educational research. Its aim is to disclose the predominating learning styles among students when learning any second language. After analysing the created Learning Styles Test, which follows Felder and Silverman’s classification, several results and conclusions have arisen. Plenty of students learn actively and some others do no show any preference in the visual/verbal dimension. Furthermore, because of the large amount of students with no predilections for one or more dimensions, it could be considered that they have not acknowledged the way of studying which best fits them.
