Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the match between the
students' learning styles and the teachers ' teaching styles. The study identifies the
learning styles of the university students enrolled in an American affiliated Lebanese
university who are currently registered in remedial English courses. The participants in
this study were 103 students and five ESL teachers. A modified version of the PLSPQ
has been used in this study as an assessment instrument to determine the learning styles
of the students. The results showed that Lebanese students have a preference for multiple
learning styles, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile and visual. The results also revealed that
culture, age, gender, discipline and time spent studying English are variables that affect
the learning styles of the students. The results also revealed that a match between the
teaching and learning styles does have an impact on the students ' achievement in English.
