In this paper, the learning style differences in different modalities were discussed. There has been some research on the relationships between learning styles and variables, such as sex, age, ethnicity, major, and L2 proficiency (e.g., Reid, 1987). However, because the definition of each modality has been different from study to study, it is difficult to adequately investigate the results of those studies. In the present review paper, the focus narrows down to the aural (i.e., listening) and written (i.e., reading) among various modalities, and how those variables play a role in modality preference is investigated. Additionally, internal and external factors are discussed to understand how they determine a specific learning style (i.e., listening or reading).
