The focus of this quantitative study was the influence of learning styles on oral proficiency achievements of adult learners of Modern Standard Arabic and two Arabic dialects (Iraqi and Levantine) at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in Monterey, CA. The association between learning styles and disenrollment and the effect of gender on disenrolled students, oral proficiency and learning styles were also explored. [taken directly from abstract]
