This thesis entitled “Exploring Students’ Preference of English Learning Styles”. The aimed of this study were to understand the way non-English students learn English and to know their learning styles preferences in learning English. In completing the data, I used quantitative research involving one hundred and eighty respondents.

I used a close-ended questionnaire which requires the respondent to choose one of several specified answers, such as never, sometimes and often applies to the students. I modified the learning channel preference checklist questionnaire model reproduced by O’Brien and I used it as my instrument.

Based on the results of the questionnaire, it shows that one hundred and eighty students on non-English department of Education and Teacher Training Faculty learn English in various ways based on their preferences.
