  • Abstract
    A survey was conducted to investigate Chinese college students´ foreign language learning styles in the computer and network-integrated language learning environment. The survey data revealed the general trend of their learning styles and the effect of learning styles on learning achievements. The results indicated that a) college students do not have significant major learning style preferences, b) learning style preferences do not lead to statistically significant higher levels of achievement, and c) gender differences in learning style preferences are relatively great. The paper discusses these findings, and concludes with suggestions for helping EFL college students learn better in the computer and network-integrated language learning environment.
