Research backgroundResearch background
Learning English is becoming the trend in Taiwan. In
order to achieve teaching goals successfully and
promote student development and growth positively,
teachers should take more awareness on knowing
students individual differences.

Statement of the problemStatement of the problem
The focus of most studies was on differences in
strategy awareness, and learning attitudes, rather
than on differences in the use of specific strategies or
learning style preferences. Also, few data on the
relationship between strategies and language
proficiency.

The purpose of the studyThe purpose of the study
To figure out what are the relationships between
perceptual learning style preferences, language
learning strategies and learning efficiency on
grades 7 to 9 of junior high school in central Taiwan

Research questionsResearch questions
Are there any relationships between
perceptual learning style preferences and
language learning efficiency?
