Abstract

The objectives of this study were to find out (1) what learning style was mostly used by the students and (2) whether or not there was any significant correlation between the students’ learning styles and students’ descriptive writing achievement. Correlational research design was used in this study. The writer applied convenience sampling and 124 eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 9 Palembang in the academic year of 2015/2016 were chosen as the sample. The ‘Barsch Learning Style Inventory’ and writing test were used to collect the data. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was used in analyzing the data by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22. The results showed that (1) visual learning style was mostly used by the students (64 out of 124 students), followed by auditory learning style and kinesthetic learning style respectively and (2) there was a weak significant correlation between the students’ learning styles and students’ descriptive writing achievement (r= 0.314 and sig. value= 0.000).
