If so,what is the connection?(3)Is there any correlations between perceptual learning styles and Writing performance? If so,what is the connection?The research objects of this paper are 174 students from Grade ten of the Zheng Xiong Chang Feng Middle School in Yunnan Province.This study adopts the questionnaire survey method,testing method and data analysis method.The questionnaire as follows:(1)A perceptual learning style questionnaire based on Reid(1984)perceptual learning style theory,respectively investigates students’ four perceptual learning styles,namely visual,auditory,tactile and kin-esthetic learning styles.(2)A writing test based on the English Writing Criteria of College Entrance Examination.This paper attempts to discuss correlations between perceptual learning styles and writing ability,and puts forward some suggestions.The results show that: 1.at present,senior high school students possess four perceptual learning styles,but varies differently and enormously.There are 42% students belonging to auditory perceptual learning style students,ranking first.Secondly,kin-esthetic perceptual learning style students,24%.Then,tactile perceptual learning style students,21.3%.the lowest one is visual perceptual learning style students,12.7%.2.Auditory perceptual learning style students research the writing curriculum standards for senior high school English better than other students.3.Auditory perceptual learning style students’ English writing grades are higher than other students.Tactile perceptual learning style students posses lowest grades in middle school English teaching.In addition,the author also give some suggestions to improve the effective application of group cooperative learning in junior high school English teaching from the aspects of school,teacher and student under the background of new curriculum reform.
