Abstract

The paper discusses the relationship between learning styles and L2 English learners. The authors mainly focus on how personality and autonomous learning abilities influence learning styles and learning performance. The authors read through pervious study and find that there are gaps in studies of personality and autonomous learning abilities. Then, two pieces of questionnaires are conducted through online platform. According to the questionnaires, for personality, students of judgement and perceiving personalities prefer different learning styles, achieving different English performance. Their choices are always related to their characteristics of personalities. For autonomous learning abilities, the author investigates students' abilities to learn independently by comparing their English grades, attempting to infer the relationship between English learning and autonomous learning. Authors’ findings have new insight in the field of learning styles of L2 English learners. But the questionnaires only collect small number of students and the results lack qualitative support.
