| Summary: | The term ‘learning style’ has been used to describe an individual’s natural,
habitual and preferred way of absorbing, processing, and retaining new
information and skills This study seeks to investigate the learning style used by
the UiTM TESL students based on Index Learning Questionnaire. This study
is conducted by adapting the research done by Atef Al-Tamimi and Munir
Shuib to the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) English major’s students. It is
conducted to investigate the learning style used by UiTM Melaka TESL
students in learning English as a second language. There are four dimensions
of learning style proposed by Felder to define the preferences used by the
learners. A set of questionnaire was distributed to 54 final semester TESL
students at the City Campus of UiTM Melaka. After analysing the data, it was
discovered that UiTM City Campus TESL students had several learning styles
focussing on the four dimensions of learning styles designed by Felder and
Silverman. |
