Exploring the Relationship between Annotation Use of EFL Learners and Their Learning Styles
Öz
This study explores the relationship between (perceptual and cognitive) learning styles and the use of
hypermedia annotations by intermediate EFL learners while reading a hypermedia text. The participants were
44 EFL adult learners studying English for academic purposes. Data were collected through a software
tracking tool, a learning styles survey and interviews. Results did not indicate a significant relationship,
suggesting that learners with different learning styles had similar patterns in using hypermedia annotations,
which in turn suggests that hypermedia environments can accommodate for various learning styles.
