This article is conducted to investigate the English language learning style of the higher secondary learners in Bangladesh and how far the teachers are aware about the learners’ preferences. For this purpose, 30 students were selected from 3 higher secondary colleges to express their styles through a questionnaire as to how they preferred learning English as a foreign language. Moreover, this study also included 8 teachers’ interview on how they perceive learners’ preferences while teaching English. The questionnaire containing 13 items, were adopted and adapted from Reid’s (1987) original study of perceptual learning style preferences. The findings of the study showed some specific styles preferred by most of the learners. In various cases, the teachers were not aware of the learners’ styles and those who were aware showed their problems of implementing these styles in classroom. The article ends with some suggestions in order to aware teachers and learners about the effectiveness of learning styles.
