Abstract

Increasing attention is being paid to learning styles (LSS) in the classroom; students learn best when learning activities are planned, selected, contextualised and aligned with LSS. The objectives of this mixed study were to identify the results of implementing the SRSD model in persuasive essay writing in English as a foreign language and to distinguish learning experiences in persuasive essay writing in English considering AEs in the implementation of the SRSD model. Quantitative results indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest results. The learning experiences reported in the qualitative stage revealed that taking AEs into account helped the participants to understand their way of learning and was helpful in selecting strategies for persuasive essay writing. Furthermore, the SRSD model helped in improving persuasive essay writing.
