Abstract

This research reports descriptive statistical data on the circumstance in the form of a survey study through questionnaire about EFL students’ preference on learning styles – alone or group. Respondents were students who enrolled in 2017/2018 academic year at Research subject in three class sections: 2015 A; 2015 B; and 2015 D. Findings show that 59% of the respondents preferred to study alone and in group when they were on campus and only 15% of them preferred to study in that style when they were at home. 22% of the respondents preferred to study in group when they were on campus and 9% of them chose to study in group when they were at home. Preference on studying alone when they were on campus was 15% and 77% of the respondents when they were at home. Only 2% were undecided about their preference on learning styles when they were on campus. The findings show that raising our awareness on which learning styles that the EFL students most prefer can help us design how we conduct exercise or tasks techniques to them. Eventually, we can achieve better pedagogical outcomes in academic writing classroom afterwards.
