A Study On English Learning Style In High School: Perspective Of Teaching Strategies

For quite a long time in China ,schools are heavily biased towards uniformity over diversity and students are all instructed in the same way in the classroom, Students'preferences, especially the learning styles, have been neglected. In recent years, with quality-oriented education and the learner-centered approach implemented, more and more focus has been on the learners rather than on the instructors. With the shift of focus in EFL from teaching methodology to learners and process, teachers begin to aware how students learn and consider learning styles as one of the personality-related variables influencing success in learning a foreign language. Individual students bring their own individual approaches, talents, interests, etc. to the learning situation. So they have different learning styles. And now it is widely accepted that the research on learning style play a vital part in the EFL/ESL classroom. The present study is mainly concerned with: learning styles theory, the related Humanism theory and multiple intelligence theory, the related factors in the forming of learning styles, the language learning &teaching strategies, language acquisition and an empirical investigation on the distribution of the learning styles of the senior high school students and some classroom implication.
