The result showed that the strategies mentioned in the theory that are customized content based on individual learning preferences, learn new concepts to practically apply to different scenarios, cross-functional learning with strong feedback loops, preference for non-structured learning environments, and group learning to explore, engage, enquire and achieve as the strategies to teach the millennial students, preferred by the EESP millennial students at Artha Wacana Christian University. Besides, they also prefer more chances to have inquiry-based learning, more activities that engage them in communicative learning, more group discussion, and more audio-visual materials.

Abstract

The learning preferences of female English as a foreign language (EFL) learners in economically disadvantaged and culturally diverse secondary-school settings remain underexamined, particularly in relation to self-directed learning. This study investigated the predominant learning-style modality among female students and examined how their preferred learning activities supported self-directed learning. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, the study involved 30 female students purposively selected from a Christian residential secondary school in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Data were collected using a 23-item questionnaire covering visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning activities alongside self-directed practices and rated on a five-point frequency scale. Descriptive percentage analysis showed that kinesthetic activities received the highest combined proportion of “always” and “often” responses (53%), followed by visual (48%) and auditory activities (47%). Particularly strong endorsement was recorded for preparing drafts before completing tasks (83.3% always/often), learning through experimentation and using task examples (70.0% each), revising and evaluating completed work (66.7%), elaborating learning materials at home (66.7%), and maintaining a home-study schedule (63.3%). These practices indicate that active engagement was intertwined with planning, task execution, monitoring, and evaluation—core processes of self-directed learning. Nevertheless, the distributions across all three modalities reveal a multimodal rather than exclusively kinesthetic profile. The findings therefore support instructional designs that combine visual resources and oral explanation with substantial opportunities for practice, experimentation, planning, and reflection.
