Study of the Iranian Student's Different Learning Styles in Learning Foreign Languages

In this present article, the authors attempt to study the Iranian students’ different learning styles in learning foreign languages. For this purpose, different styles of learning were studied, after having dealt with the categories of learning, styles and strategies of learning. The authors also tried to find the most current learning styles and the reasons of the tendency for these styles. Then a theoretical study was carried out followed by a field study on 60 Iranian English and French language learners (aged 20-25 years) on an advanced level in foreign languages. This field study is based on a questionnaire consisting of 30 questions. The questions contained 6 different parameters of learning styles including, learning through reading, listening, writing, speaking, watching and learning by doing. After collecting and analyzing the data results of the questionnaire, it was concluded that among all the different learning styles of advanced level language learners, speaking was the trendiest and the less preferred was listening. In this study, after presenting the results of the different learning styles, the reasons of their trendiness were also approached.
