Learning styles has revolved around EFL
contexts and has gained wider attention from teachers
and teaching practitioners as well as researchers in
Indonesia and around the world. The primary purpose of
this research is to figure out if the learning style has a
major impact on the listening performance of the
students. The design of the present research is a
quantitative research design that incorporates statistical
tools. The study design employs causal comparative of ex
post facto design. The research’s population was the
second-grade students of SMAN 2 Watansoppeng with a
total of 150 students taking only 27 students as the
sample. The instruments or tools were in the form of
questionnaires on learning style and listening
comprehension assessments. The data were analyzed by
using One-Way ANOVA in IBM SPSS 25.0. The result of
the research showed that F-table score of learning style on
students’ listening performance is 0.159 and the
significant value is 0.923. The values confirm that there is
no significant effect of learning style on students’ listening
performance. Moreover, it was found that auditory tend
to be the most dominant learning style. The finding
generates pedagogical concerns that teachers should not
worry about the differences of students learning styles
since effective and productive teaching may be achieved
regardless of style variables.
