Abstract

The variation of students in acquiring and understanding knowledge is influenced by learning styles. Each student has a variety of learning styles including visual, auditory or kinaesthetic learning style. Besides, it is very infrequent of them to aware of learning strategies that are compatible with their learning styles. Understanding learning styles may help students understand how they study and motivate themselves to achieve learning goals.

The data was collected using two questionnaires that are Index of Learning Styles (ILS) Learning Style Questionnaire and VARK Questionnaire (Version 7.8). The analysis found that students who learned Basic Listening at English Department, UNP had different learning styles and the majority of their learning styles were dominated by visual styles. From both questionnaires, the students mostly have visual learning style. The percentage is 75,33% from ILS questionnaire and 56,33% from VARK questionnaire. It means that students in Basic Listening class easily understand the lessons that use images, graphs, maps, time lines, films, displays, etc.
