Abstract
It is very important to assist foreign language teachers in adjusting their
teaching styles to accommodate the diverse learning styles of their students.
We present results of a case study concerning basic EFL2 learning
styles (four perceptual and group/individual styles) of Bosnian high
school students (N=154). Descriptive statistical analysis was used based
on Reid’s PLSP3 questionnaire. As previous studies of other ethnic groups
revealed, this study also suggests different perceptual learning style preferences
and gender differences. We assume that learning style and individual
differences make the identical instruction effective for some students
and ineffective for others and support it with the latest studies on
brain structure.
Keywords
learning styles; secondary schools; sex differences.
