Learning English is becoming the trend in Taiwan. In order to achieve teaching goals successfully and promote student development and growth positively, teachers should take more awareness on knowing students individual differences.

Statement of the problemStatement of the problem
The focus of most studies was on differences in strategy awareness, and learning attitudes, rather than on differences in the use of specific strategies or learning style preferences. Also, few data on the relationship between strategies and language proficiency.

The purpose of the studyThe purpose of the study
To figure out what are the relationships between perceptual learning style preferences, language learning strategies and learning efficiency on grades 7 to 9 of junior high school in central Taiwan

“Children develop tactual and kinesthetic modalities first, followed by visual modalities at
about the third grade and followed by auditory modalities at about the sixth grade and early secondary school years”(Price, 1980).

Crino (1984) and Keefe (1987) also found that children were primarily tactile and kinesthetic learners and evolved to visual and auditory learners as they matured.

The effective language learnerThe effective language learner
Nunan (1991) found that effective language learners displayed a high degree of autonomy, and were able to reflect on and articulate the processes underlying their own learning.
