| description | Learning and teaching styles in learning and teaching foreign languages are two
interrelated areas. A study in one of these fields sheds light on the other. Therefore,
interest in how people learn and how they prefer learning has increased over the years
due to an extensive amount of literature available pertaining to both learning styles and
teaching styles. Thus, this research is grounded in clarifying the relationship between
ENG 101 1 students’ preferred perceptual learning styles and their success in a reading
test. In this regard, this paper is concerned with identifying the preferred perceptual
learning styles of university students (N= 154) considering their age, gender and
countries to determine if relationships exist between students’ success in an IELTS
reading test and preferred perceptual learning style. This study is significant as the
number of studies based on examining the relationships between success in reading
skills and perceptual learning styles is limited. Data were gathered from Reid’s PLSPQ
to determine the focused participants’ preferred perceptual learning styles and an IELTS
reading test to investigate the relationship between individuals’ preferred perceptual
learning styles and their success in the reading test. In the analysis of the data, a t-test
and ANOVA were applied. Thus, this survey is both qualitative and quantitative. The results show there was a statistical difference between students’ success in the IELTS
reading test and preferred perceptual learning style as kinaesthetic learners significantly
outperformed other learner groups. |
