Teacher’ Strategies for Accommodating Students' Learning Styles in English Classes

This study explores the strategies used by English teachers at MAN 4 Aceh Besar to accommodate students’ diverse learning styles, as well as the challenges they encounter in applying these strategies. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with three teachers. The findings show that teachers demonstrate strong awareness of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles and apply various strategies such as adapting learning activities, using multimodal instructional media, and monitoring students’ responses to improve engagement and understanding. However, several challenges hinder optimal implementation, including large class sizes, limited instructional time, insufficient facilities, varied student proficiency levels, and teachers’ personal limitations, especially in technology use. These challenges limit the teachers’ ability to consistently address all learning styles within a single lesson, indicating the need for improved institutional support and ongoing professional development.
