Publisher : Universitas PGRI Sumatera Barat

For the students in the future, it is hoped that they can recognize their own learning style preferences in order to be able to learn successfuly, because the students themselves may have no ideas of learning styles they prefer. They just imitate what their friends do, and the teacher does not understand what the students are like and what they prefer in learning. As the consequence, it will not result in any good effect for the improvement for their successful teaching and learning. Hence, both teacher and students, particularly the teachers need to know the students’ characteristics and their learning style preferances. This study adapted the Style Analysis Survey (SAS) model proposed by Oxford (1995) concerning the the student learning style preferences. The samples of this quantitative study involved 60 students who consisted of 30 of non-English and 30 English students at UNPAM.

Meanwhile, for the individual learning style preferences of each group of students are Physiological and Cognitive executive (II) in which non-English students will remember things better if they discuss them, and English students prefer realism instead of new, unstested ideas.

This paper discusses about using instructional technology as a media in improving students’ English. Some problems faced by students in teaching and learning process especially for student English achievement. For instance, they got some difficulties in following quicker information on the slide because the instructor providing too much information. This situation made the class was boring also some students were unsure if their lecturers were using technology effectively because often it is not the fault of the lecturer, but the fault of the technology itself. Problems with the technology lead to disruption in learning when there is a technical failure, and most of the instructors ask to help fix the problem. There are two important causes of this condition; they are the instructors and technology. Using instructional technology can be more effective and improve student English if the instructors have confidence and skills in using the technology.doi: 10.22202/tus.2016.v2i1.1332
