Abstract

This research aimed at investigating the kinds of English learning styles used by female and male students in learning English. It was designed as quantitative research with a survey method. Data were gathered by using a perceptual learning styles questionnaire that was adapted from Reid (1984). It had been validated by experts and had been tried out to other respondents who had the same characteristics as the respondents of this research to get the reliability of the questionnaire. A total sampling technique was used to involve 115 students of the third-semester of the English education study program of Universitas Bengkulu in the academic year of 2021-2022 in filling in the questionnaire, consisting of 28 male and 87 female students. The results revealed that the female students used three major learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic), two minor learning styles (tactile and group), and a negative learning style (individual). The most dominant learning style used by the female student was kinesthetics. Moreover, the male students used five major learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetics, tactile, and group), while the individual learning style was negative. The most dominant learning style used by the male students was the group. In conclusion, there was a different English learning style between female and male students used by the third-semester students of the English education study program of Universitas Bengkulu in the academic year of 2021-2022. The female students preferred to learn English with practical activities and active learning, while male students preferred to learn English by working with their friends such as in a small and a large group. Keywords: English learning style, gender differences, English learning.
