Abstract

This study aims to identify the dominant learning styles among eleventh-grade students at MAN 1 Makassar. A descriptive quantitative research design was used, with data collected through a learning style questionnaire and a speaking performance test. A purposive sample of 30 students participated in the study. The findings show that the auditory learning style was the most preferred, chosen by 14 students (47%), followed by the visual learning style (10 students or 33%) and the kinesthetic learning style (6 students or 20%). These findings suggest that students' learning styles influence their speaking performance and highlight the importance of using varied teaching strategies to support learners with different preferences.

Abstract

This study investigates how different learning styles—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic—influence students’ English-speaking performance. Speaking is widely recognized as the most challenging language skill, and students’ preferred modes of learning are believed to shape how effectively they develop oral proficiency. Using a descriptive quantitative design, data were collected from eleventh-grade students at MAN 1 Makassar through a learning style questionnaire adapted from the VAK model and a speaking performance test assessed using Heaton’s criteria of accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility. The results reveal clear performance differences across learning style categories. Auditory learners achieved the highest mean score, classified as Very Good, demonstrating strong fluency and clear comprehensibility with only minor pronunciation or grammatical issues. Visual learners obtained a Good classification; they performed well overall but showed noticeable limitations in grammatical accuracy. Kinesthetic learners received a Fairly Good classification, exhibiting moderate ability and particular challenges in fluency, as their speech tended to be fragmented and required more processing time. These findings indicate that students' learning styles are meaningfully associated with their speaking performance, with auditory learners showing the greatest advantage—likely due to their preference for processing spoken input and verbal explanations. Meanwhile, kinesthetic learners may require more interactive, movement-based activities to support their oral production. The study underscores the importance of incorporating varied instructional strategies that align with different learning preferences. Teachers are encouraged to design multimodal speaking activities to ensure equitable support for all learner types and to maximize students’ opportunities for successful oral communication.
