Learning styles of University Students and Language Learning: Concepts, recent views and research-based Recommendations
Roč.6,č.3(2017)
The contribution deals with Vermunt´s – Van Rijswijk´s constructivist model and inventory of learning styles (ILS). Students in the experimental group learned English from arbitrary internet materials and control group students studied in face-to-face lessons. Common values and students scores were compared; in both groups, identical ILS items exceeded the common values range.
