Abstract: This descriptive-correlational study assesses the extent of language learning styles of college students at Sulu Stat College during the Academic Year 2022-2023. With 100 respondents, it employed frequency counts and percentage, weighted mean and standard deviation, t-test for independent samples and One-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s r. This study reveals the following findings: 1) Out of 100 respondents, great majority are female, are within 21 years old & below of age bracket, mostly from Arts and Sciences and Business Administration departments, and whose parents have high school level of education. 2) Generally, student-respondents agreed that language learning styles of college students at Sulu State College could possibly be as Visual Language, Auditory Numerical, Social Group, Visual Numerical, Kinesthetic-Tactile, Expressive Oral, Auditory Language, Social Individual, and Expressive–Written. 3) Generally, profile variables such as gender, age, and parent’s educational attainment do not intervene in ways how student-respondents assess the extent of language learning styles. 4) Student-respondents who generally perceived the extent of language learning styles in terms of Visual Language as “Strongly Agree” may sometimes be the same group of respondents who perceived the extent of Auditory Numerical, Social Group, Visual Numerical, Kinesthetic-Tactile, Expressive Oral, Auditory Language, Social Individual, and Expressive–Written as “Agree”, respectively. 5) This study tends to support Mkonto (2010) model of language learning styles which accounts that in the writing activity the participants will write about their prior learning experiences and how these experiences help or hinder effective learning.
Keywords: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile, group, individual, auditory, gender, age, course.
