Abstract

The study has investigated the relationship between learning styles and intelligence with academic achievement in learning English as a foreign language among male and female monolingual (Farsi Speakers) and bilingual Students (Farsi and Azerbaijan-Turkish Speakers) in Islamic Azad University-Central Tehran Branch and Khoy Branch, using Felder-Soloman questionnaire. The findings have shown monolinguals are better at visual learning styles and bilinguals are better at verbal learning styles. With regards to the achieved results, it can be concluded that bilingual students learn via senses, events, and observations because of their affective learning style. On the contrary monolingual students learn through symbols and interpretations because of using intuitive learning style. Also monolinguals learning style is visual and bilinguals learning style is verbal. Since bilingualism requires more mental activity, bilinguals use two means for communication and also learning. Thinking is a verbal process therefore they use two languages for thinking and other mental activities, and their potential capabilities develop and their cognitive learning is than monolinguals. The study shows that gender influences learning styles and female students’ learning styles are different from male students’ learning style and also it depends on the subject to be learnt.

Abstract: The study has investigated the relationship between learning styles and intelligence
with academic achievement in learning English as a foreign language among male and female
monolingual (Farsi Speakers) and bilingual Students (Farsi and Azerbaijan-Turkish Speakers)
in Islamic Azad University-Central Tehran Branch and Khoy Branch, using Felder-Soloman
questionnaire. The findings have shown monolinguals are better at visual learning styles and
bilinguals are better at verbal learning styles. With regards to the achieved results, it can be
concluded that bilingual students learn via senses, events, and observations because of their
affective learning style. On the contrary monolingual students learn through symbols and
interpretations because of using intuitive learning style. Also monolinguals learning style is
visual and bilinguals learning style is verbal. Since bilingualism requires more mental activity,
bilinguals use two means for communication and also learning. Thinking is a verbal process
therefore they use two languages for thinking and other mental activities, and their potential
capabilities develop and their cognitive learning is than monolinguals. The study shows that
gender influences learning styles and female students’ learning styles are different from male
students’ learning style and also it depends on the subject to be learnt.

Bu çalışmada İslami Azad Üniversitesinin Tahran Merkez Şubesi ve Hoy Şubesinde tek dilli
(Farsça konuşanlar) ve çift dilli (Farsça ve Azerbaycan -Türkçesi konuşanlar) erkek ve kız
öğrenciler arasında yabancı dil olarak İngilizce öğrenmede akademik başarı, zeka ve öğrenme
yöntemleri arasındaki ilişki Felder-Soloman anketi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Bulgular görsel
- sözel öğrenme yöntemlerinde tek dillilerin çift dillilerden farklılık sergilediğini, tek dillilerin
görsel çift dillilerin ise sözel öğrenme yöntemlerinde başarılı olduğunu göstermiştir. Elde edilen
sonuçlar doğrultusunda, çift dilli öğrencilerin duyusal öğrenme yöntemlerinden duyular,
olaylar ve gözlemler yoluyla öğrendikleri sonucuna varılmıştır. Tek dilli öğrenciler ise sezgisel
öğrenme yöntemindeki semboller ve yorumsal yolları kullanarak öğrenmektedirler. Ayrıca, tek
dilliler görsel çift dilliler ise sözel öğrenme yöntemine sahiptir. Çift dillilik daha fazla zihinsel
aktivite gerektirdiğinden dolayı çift dilliler iletişim kurarken ve öğrenirken iki dilden de
faydalanmaktadırlar. Çift dilliler sözel bir süreç olan düşünmede ve zihinsel işlemlerde iki dili de
kullandıklarından dolayı potansiyel kapasiteleri gelişmektedir ve tek dillilere kıyasla kavramsal
öğrenmeleri de iyi olmaktadır. Ayrıca, cinsiyetin ve konunun da öğrenme yöntemlerinde etkili
olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Tek dilli, çift dilli, zeka, öğrenme yöntemleri, akademik başarı, İngilizce
