The appropriate use of technological tools is potential to encourage learning activities. This literature study research is aimed to review studies that have already been done in field of learning styles and the role of technology in second language (L2) teaching and learning. The researcher reviewed previous researches in order to associate research findings in those fields to draw a general conclusion. As a result, not all findings showed and agreed that learning style affect learners’ achievement significantly. Regardless of the data showing disagreement, it is still necessary to pay attention to learners’ learning style to be adjusted to selection and use of technology in the classroom.
