Activities for the acquisition of English as a foreign language consistent with different learning styles

Abstract

The present research is a non-experimental descriptive one which aims to determine the different learning styles of students of the Teaching English Programme at Bío-Bío University in order to select, adapt and create activities according to the learning styles. For fulfilling this purpose, a questionnaire to identify learning styles was applied to the subjects of the investigation and the results were tabulated to determine the students’ predominance. These demonstrated that most students have a mixture of learning styles. Accordingly, activities for developing the four skills in the learning of a second language were created.
