Master's degree , TESOL/TEFL

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Kolb's Learning StylesBased Teaching Strategies (LSBTS) on learning some EFL grammatical structures of included
in textbook "Hello! Secondary 1". In addition, the study was intended to identify the common
learning styles amongst the subjects of the study (219 first year secondary school students).

The researcher discusses the relationship of learning styles and EFL academic achievement
in general and grammatical structures in particular. Also, the researcher discusses both the
Explicit Grammar Instruction (EGI) and Implicit Grammar Instruction (IGI) approaches to
grammar instruction. The researcher advocates EGI due to the EFL situation in Egypt and the
secondary school curriculum. The researcher administered Kolbs Learning Style Inventory
(KLSI) to identify participants' most common learning styles and a grammar achievement test
to measure their learning in grammatical structures. The study was limited to a random
sample of first year secondary students and first term syllabus. The researcher used five
groups: four experimental and one control, who represented five EFL classes. The researcher
taught each group according to the most common learning style in that classroom/group. The
first experimental group was taught using diverger LSBTS, the second was taught using
assimilator LSBTS, the third was taught using Converger LSBTS and the last experimental
group was taught using Accommodator LSBTS. Findings indicated that both the assimilative
and divergent learning styles were the most common learning styles amongst the participants
of the study according to the KLSI. Also, findings revealed that there is not a certain learning
style that achieves well in learning grammatical structures, i.e. all learning styles could learn
grammatical structures equally before the experiment of the study. In addition, students who
were taught and/or assisted with their appropriate learning style LSBTS did not outperform
those who were not. LSBTS helped all students (nevertheless their own learning styles) learn
grammatical structures. It was also found that A Full Learning Cycle Approach to teaching
may be better that one learning style LSBTS in enhancing students' EFL learning (LSBTS for
each style are listed and tabulated for the comfort of teacher).
