The students have their own model for learning language to reach the goal of learning. Learning style is the way of the students to decide the effective and efficient way to sense, remember, process, and save what they have tried to learn. However, the students of junior high school, especially at eighth grade, they have their own learning style to learn the language, but they have not known yet which learning style that can help them achieve English achievement. Meanwhile, there are four kinds of learning style. Those are converger, concrete, conformist, and communicative learners.
