A study on the perceptual learning styles and listening strategies of Chinese learners of intermediate and advanced-level Korean

The purpose of this study is to analyze the perceptual learning style preferences and listening strategies of Chinese learners of intermediate and advanced-level Korean as well as the correlation between perceptual learning style and listening strategy. To achieve this aim, this study conducted a listening test. The results of the listening test were used as the basis to divide the students into three groups(low, middle, high). The results of this study are as follows. First, Chinese learners of intermediate and advanced-level korean predominantly favored a visual learning style. Second, learners stated that they tend to use affective strategy and compensatory strategy as listening strategies. In particular, differences in cognitive strategy, metacognitive strategy, affective strategy, social strategy demonstrated statistical significance between groups. Third, an analysis of statistically significant correlations between perceptual learning style and listening strategy showed that visual learning style and auditory learning style had a static correlation with all strategies, while kinesthetic learning style had static correlation with all strategies except compensatory strategy. The correlation between perceptual learning style and listening strategy use by hearing ability was also analyzed, showing different results per level. The above results show the most optimum combinations of learning style and listening strategy for increased learning effects. This study will help instructors to conduct classes in a way that best complements the characteristics of their students and enable students/learners to learn more effectively.
