This research was conducted to examine EFL students’ preferred learning styles, and linkages between learning stylepreferences and individual attributes such as fields of study, length of tertiary study, gender, age, learning language experience, andEnglish proficiency level. 172 students were invited to participate in the questionnaire survey. The findings revealed that perceptuallearning style preferences were impacted by some attributes, particularly fields of study and length of tertiary study. The dominant learningstyle preferences for the sample were kinesthetic and tactile. The higher levels of English EFL students got the more kinesthetic and tactilethey appeared. Furthermore, the students with the shortest length of studying English tended to be those with a variety of preferredlearning styles, except individual. As far as gender was concerned, females showed a stronger tendency toward kinesthetic while males gavemore preference to tactile learning.
