Although research into the learning styles of non-native speakers of English (NNSs) has been the focus of several studies in recent years, there have been few longitudinal studies undertaken to determine whether the learning style preferences of NNSs undergo a process of modification as they adapt to the demands of the academic environment of a university in the United States. This research study attempts to address this deficiency, and provides information about the changes in the learning style preferences of NNSs over a period of eighteen months.

520 $a Although research into the learning styles of non-native speakers of English (NNSs) has been the focus of several studies in recent years, there have been few longitudinal studies undertaken to determine whether the learning style preferences of NNSs undergo a process of modification as they adapt to the demands of the academic environment of a university in the United States. This research study attempts to address this deficiency, and provides information about the changes in the learning style preferences of NNSs over a period of eighteen months.
520 $a The study employed Reid's Perceptual Preference Learning Styles Questionnaire (1987) and Oxford's Style Analysis Survey (1993) as the instruments of measurement. The questionnaires were administered to a group of 130 NNSs at the beginning and at the end of an eighteen-month period. In addition, a sample group of students were interviewed after both administrations of the questionnaires.
520 $a The data were analyzed to determine whether any changes in students' learning style preferences had occurred, and whether these changes were influenced by variables such as nationality, gender, age, and major. The results of this analysis address two questions: (1) Do the perceptual and sociological learning style preferences of non-native speakers of English change as they adapt to the academic environment of a university in the United States? (2) Are demographic factors related to changes in students' learning style preferences?
520 $a Results of reliability analyses revealed low reliability coefficients for two of the learning style subscales on the Perceptual Preference Learning Styles Questionnaire (Reid, 1987) and one of the subscales on the Style Analysis Survey (Oxford, 1993). Explanations for these findings are explored through interviews with the students. The MANOVA analyses indicated that students' learning style preferences changed over the eighteen-month period and that these changes were influenced by factors such as English proficiency, major, and prior instruction by a native speaker. Possible reasons for these changes are discussed and implications for learning style research are presented.
