Learning is an active process of gaining

knowledge, insights, and skills through

study, experience, or instruction.

Learning styles are internally based

characteristics of individuals for the intake

or understanding of new information

(Reid: 1995)

Kinds of Learning Styles:

1. Visual learners

2. Auditory learners

3. Kinesthetic learners

Learning strategies are specific actions

taken by the learner to make learning

easier, faster, more enjoyable, more self-

directed, more effective, and more

applicable to real situations.

Group B n Mean Group A N Mean

Test 1 18 3,18 Test 1 18 3,19

Test 2 18 3,19 Test 2 18 3,53

The treatment has an effect/influence on students’ score/achievement

T observed (68) is more than t value (2,11) meaning that Ho is rejected.

If the learners have recognized their own learning

styles and learning strategies, they will be easy

to implement the ways to learn English effectively
