Pros and Cons of Learning Style: An Implication for English Language Teachers
Rinekso, Aji Budi
Acuity: Journal of English Language Pedagogy, Literature and Culture, v6 n1 p12-23 2021
Learning style becomes a familiar theory for English language teachers. With a hypothesis of matching instructions and learning styles resulting in effective learning, many of the English language teachers apply learning style theory within their teaching practices. However, recent studies found that learning style is a myth since there are flaws appearing in the learning style instruments and hypothesis. This study presents in-depth discussions of the pros and cons of learning styles. Also, detailed descriptions about the implication for English language teachers entails at the end of the discussions. This study concludes that English language teachers may focus on: (1) assessing students' background knowledge and interests; (2) identifying students' lacks and necessities; (3) providing more engaging teaching media and materials; and (4) boosting students' autonomy, rather than merely getting involved in the raging debates of learning style.
