inherently more effective than others, and some more appropriate in particular contexts of
learning or for individuals with differing aptitudes and learning styles.
By the right learning style to be implemented to the particular students, their learning
will become suitable for the students themselves. Just like what Nancy-Scapo stated from
their findings;
Students vary in the way they process and understand information. when
students understand their learning style preferences, research has shown they
are more successful learners. Students reported that early knowledge of their
learning style type affected how they adapted to and strengthened their
strategies for learning, including how they developed their study habits.
1.3. Methodology
In this papers writters give the report about their research about the successful second
langauge learners by their learning style and learning strategies. The research involved 28
students of SLA (Second Language Acquisition) class of English Language Education Study
Program of Palangkaraya University in filling the questionnaire. From 28 questionnares only
24 that return to the researchers but the datas are enough. The given questionnare was given
to survey the data about their learning style. The only media that used by the researchers to
collect the data was questionnare VAK Learning Styles Self-Assessment Questionnaire. The
questionnare was given to all the subjects on Wednesday, November 16th, 2016 at 03.00 pm
and returned by all of the subjects on the same day.

Someone with a Visual learning style has a preference for seen or observed things,
including pictures, diagrams, demonstrations, displays, handouts, films, flip-chart, etc. These
people will use phrases such as show me, lets have a look at that and will be best able to
perform a new task after reading the instructions or watching someone else do it first. These
are the people who will work from lists and written directions and instructions.
Someone with an Auditory learning style has a preference for the transfer of
information through listening: to the spoken word, of self or others, of sounds and noises.
These people will use phrases such as tell me, lets talk it over and will be best able to
perform a new task after listening to instructions from an expert. These are the people who
are happy being given spoken instructions over the telephone, and can remember all the
words to songs that they hear
Someone with a Kinaesthetic learning style has a preference for physical experience -
touching, feeling, holding, doing, practical hands-on experiences. These people will use
phrases such as let me try, how do you feel? and will be best able to perform a new task
by going ahead and trying it out, learning as they go. These are the people who like to
experiment, hands-on, and never look at the instructions first

1.5. Conclusion
Based on the result of this small research, learning style of SLA students is
kinaesthetic. It means that most of SLA students have kinaesthetic learning style which is
kinesthetic learner has a strong drive to explore material through doing and to move
periodically in class.
