Learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is one of the
greatest challenges for Spanish students. It is a complex process that
involves many individual variables that need to be considered by
teachers and learners. Since the late 1990s, research in the field of
Applied Linguistics has been focused on learning styles as one of the
internal individual variables describing the way learners process the
information provided in class. Despite the growing interest in
learning styles, research is recent and, therefore, limited. Besides,
technology has been a revolution in educational contexts. In this
sense, the integration of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) at educational centres has created a new
technological context that must be taken into account in analyses.
This work examines the impact of learning styles in the language
classroom setting. In particular, it deals with student’s preferable
perceptual channels in the new technological context. More
specifically, it aims to demonstrate that a new perceptual learning
style has emerged in the EFL classroom: the digital learning style.
Finally, this work shows a teaching proposal that intends to
demonstrate that social networks are a useful tool to be used in class
because they create a multimodal context that makes language
teaching and learning processes easier and more effective, as it
promotes the students’ digital learning style in the language
classroom. [-]
