Distinct Individuals` Approaches in Obtaining English Language: A study on University Kurdish Learners

Language has a basic role in the matter of communication, and this will separate human being from any other species. In addition, the ability to understand student learning styles can increase the educational experience; moreover, the styles to learn any language may take a lot of time and may change according to different educational and social backgrounds to learn a target language. Furthermore, the different learning styles may fit with different learners; each learner could choose a style which is compatible with personal preference; as it makes it easy for teachers to incorporate them into their teaching. Moreover, different learning styles may vary in different educational background; some learners pay attention to all the styles equally, whilst some others just to a specific style. Additionally, there are different learning styles, but the most popular ones are visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic in which STUDENTS take in information. This study is an analysis of learning styles for Eastern EFL students, especially Kurdish. The purpose of this study is to increase faculty awareness and understanding of the effect of learning styles on the teaching process. The Kurdish classes, as many eastern countries` classes, are more teachers oriented and the lectures are not designed to be a group work class. Consequently, the students stick to a traditional way of learning; therefore, learning styles could be accounted as an important issue to be discussed for Kurdish speakers of English learners. The paper intends to discover the major and minor styles for different types of individuals to learn the target language according to the individual choices and desires.
