Because learning a second language implies some degree of learning a second cultural, it is important to understand what we mean by the cultural learning.
(Brown, 2007)
Motivation and Background
5
Motivation and Background
Certain factors – namely, ESL/EFL students’ identity, students’ motivation, and teachers’ recognition toward their students, would be one of crucial parts that may influence students’ foreign language learning.
(Lin & Yung, 2008)
6
Students will gain more knowledge, retain more information, and perform far better when teaching styles match learning styles.
(Lage, Platt, & Treglia, 2000)

Learning Style & Strategy
13
Culture
Brown (2007) explained that culture is the way of life. It is the context within which we exist, think, feel and related to others and it’s is also the “glue” that binds a group of people together.
14
Culture
Flowerdew and Miller (1995) —when discussing the specific academic demands on nonnative speakers of English faced with second language acquisition—further indicated that there are ethnic culture, local culture, academic culture and disciplinary culture.
15
Academic Cultural in Distances
The academic cultures in distance occur more often in the academic setting where the classroom consists of two main roles of nonnative students of English and native teachers of English
(Lin, 2007)
16
Learners need to become aware of their own cultural schemata in order to effect an acknowledgement of those of a different culture
(Byram & Morgan, 1994)

Teaching Style

(Felder & Soloman, 1992)
18
Learning Style and Strategy
“Style, whether related to personality or to cognition, characterizes the consistent and enduring trials, tendencies, or preferences that differentiate you from another person”
(Brown, 2007)
19
Learning Style and Strategy
“Strategies are specific methods of approaching a problem or task, modes of operation for achieving a particular end, or planned designs for controlling and manipulating certain information.”
(Brown, 2007)
