Perceptual Learning Styles Preferences of EFL Students
The present study aimed to identify the perceptual learning styles preferences of a total of 105 students of English as a foreign language. It also aimed to examine the differences in learning styles preferences among the students according to their gender (male/female). The Perceptual Learning Style Preferences Questionnaire (PLSPQ) created by Reid (1985) was used as a main instrument for collecting the data required. For analysing the data collected, the descriptive statistics and the independent-sample T-test have been used. The results showed that tactile style, auditory style and kinaesthetic style are major learning styles for the participants. While visual style, group style and individual style are minor learning styles. The results also showed that there are no significant differences among the students in all learning styles preferences attribute to their gender.
