Perceptual Learning Style Preferences and Language Learning Strategies

The book "Perceptual Learning Style Preferences and Language Learning Strategies" by Farid Naserieh offers a comprehensive analysis of the interactions between learning styles, learning strategies, and the individual characteristics of learners in the context of language learning. Over the past three decades, the focus has shifted from teaching methods to learning processes and the traits of learners. This study examines how various cognitive, affective, and perceptual variables, including gender, age, field of study, and self-assessed English proficiency, influence the choice of learning strategies. It particularly highlights the relationships between learners' preferred perceptual styles and the strategies employed, both in relation to specific skills such as reading and functional approaches like metacognitive strategies. The book is aimed at professionals and students who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the dynamics of language learning.
