This study aimed to investigate the learning style preferences of undergraduate and graduate international students from a university in South Korea, who are learners of the Korean language, with the employment of Fleming’s Visual, Auditory, Reading/writing, and Kinesthetic (VARK) model (Fleming and Mills, 1992). The result of the research data showed that all participants had a unimodal learning style preference with Aural learning preferences as the most preferred and Kinesthetic learning as the least preferred. Learning style identification would allow students to adjust their learning strategies. Also, this study encourages faculty to develop multiple teaching strategies to accommodate all learning-style preferences and therefore improve international students’ Korean language learning.

The result of the research data showed that all participants had a unimodal learning style preference with Aural learning preferences as the most preferred and Kinesthetic learning as the least preferred. Learning style identification would allow students to adjust their learning strategies. Also, this study encourages faculty to develop multiple teaching strategies to accommodate all learning-style preferences and therefore improve international students’ Korean language learning.
