Abstract

Every learner has their own learning styles, and there are three types of learner; such as visual learner, auditory learner, and kinesthetic learner. This paper will talk about the three types of learners based on their learning styles, the classification of English Language Education Study Program students based on the three types of learners, and what should the teachers do to help them to achieve the greater knowledge while learning new things. The research using the VAK Learning Styles Self-Assessment Questionnaire obtained from Swinburne University of Technology. The result shows that from the total of 153 students, there are 47% visual type learners, 36% auditory type learners and 17% kinesthetic type learners.

Highlights

  • As Kolb (1984) states, one's very own learning style demonstrates his or her individual contrasts in learning. Shaughnessy (1998) contends in his work, a person's learning style is an approach to focus on new and troublesome scholastic information or aptitudes, disguise and recollect forms

  • A learner can employ a particular learning style, but it is possible that a learner employs two or even all three learning styles – with one learning style dominating the other two

  • If the respondent mostly chose A as his/her answer, he/she would be categorized as a visual learner, it applied for B which is auditory, and C is kinesthetic

Summary

Introduction

As Kolb (1984) states, one's very own learning style demonstrates his or her individual contrasts in learning. Shaughnessy (1998) contends in his work, a person's learning style is an approach to focus on new and troublesome scholastic information or aptitudes, disguise and recollect forms. As Kolb (1984) states, one's very own learning style demonstrates his or her individual contrasts in learning. People have various mentalities to learning on account of contrasts in learning styles. Sims (1995) found that an individual's learning approach is a moderately steady sign of how they see, interface and react to the learning condition. The important components in teaching effectively are to understand the learning styles and the best method to comprehend the learning styles. Learners, based on their style of perceiving lesson, can be divided into three categories: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic (VAK). A learner can employ a particular learning style, but it is possible that a learner employs two or even all three learning styles – with one learning style dominating the other two
