Abstract

This paper concerns the individual differences between English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Related to the specific area in individual differences research, this article attempts to identify students’ learning styles in the EFL classroom. Respondents were 20 first-semester graduates majoring in English language education at Yogyakarta state university. They responded to the Learning Style Survey developed by Cohen, Oxford, and Chi (2001). The researcher collected and analyzed the data descriptively. The study revealed that in sensory preferences, visual learning style has the highest frequency among male and female students, while random-intuitive is the most preferred learning style regarding personality types, and synthesizing is overflowing in cognitive styles. Finally, the author discussed the teaching strategies based on students’ preferred learning styles for Educators in the EFL Classroom to enhance the teaching and learning process.
