On Learning Style

Abstract

The studies of learning style were initiated in the 1950s in the West. Ever since, various theoretical frameworks and models have emerged. From different perspectives and point of views, researchers have analyzed individual differences and characteristics of learners in perceiving and processing information. This paper attempts to introduce and account for the theory systematically so as to trigger researchers in foreign language education to carry out similar research in China and provide teachers with a new perspective in terms of individualized instruction.
