    Relations Between Personality Traits, Language Learning Styles and Success in Foreign Language Achievement
    (Hacettepe Univ, 2010) Erton, Ismail; English Translation and Interpretation
    The purpose of this paper is to show that the reflections of different personality types can be observed in students' developing different learning styles for themselves. It is hypothesized that personality may be a dominant factor in achieving the educational goals through several learning styles in foreign language achievement. To clarify this relationship, Maudsley's 'Personality' and Barsch's 'Learning Styles' inventories were distributed to Bilkent University Freshman students studying at the Faculty of Engineering, Science, Economics, Fine Arts, and Humanities & Letters, who received the English 101 course in their first year at the university. The results were evaluated statistically and the findings showed that there is not a statistically strong, but a low relationship between the personality traits of the learner, the way he/she establishes the learning styles and reflects these characteristics into success while learning a foreign language.

    Determining Learning Styles of Engineering Students To Improve the Design of a Service Course
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Ictenbas, Burcu Devrim; Eryilmaz, Hande
    Students learn in different ways and instructors must design their courses to meet the needs of those students. The purpose of this study is to determine learning styles of engineering students at Atilim University for a service course. A VARK questionnaire was administrated to the students who were enrolled in this course and learning styles of these students from different departments were determined and compared. This will provide a guide for instructors to improve their courses offered to different engineering departments based on the determined student learning styles. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
