great  influence  within  the  education  field,  and  is  frequently encountered  at  levels  ranging  from  kindergarten  to  graduate  school,
even  there  is  a  company  devoted  to  publishing  learning  style-test  and guide book for teachers.

In  one  article,  Ducket  and  Tatarkowski  stated  the  useful  to know students’ learning style :
1. It can inform teaching and learning. 2.  The  Use  of  this  data  will  lead  to  clear  learning  plans  for
individuals and for groups. 3.  This  information  can  be  linked  to  targets  with  goals  and
objectives. 4. Students individual needs can be met.
5. It can empower students to be more effective and independent learners.
6.  Students  can  work  using  their  strengths  but  also  strengthen weakest areas.
7. It can be used for differentiation in learning.

Ducket  and  Tatarkowski  explain  that  learning  style  could inform  teaching  and  learning.  First,  a  teacher  could  inform  how  the
teaching and learning process run, what teaching aids are  better use in the classroom, what kind of material best run in the classroom, how the
material run in the classroom and so on. While for students themselves learning style could inform their strength and weakness in learning, this
area they can prevent or recover their weakness but, they can strengthen their strength. Second, a teacher could design the lesson plan based on
the  st
udent’s  characteristic,  this  of  course  will  lead  to  clear  learning plans  whether  for  individuals  or  for  groups.  Third,  the  information
given  learning  style  can  be  used  for  helping  to  gain  the  targets  of learning  and  succeed  to  reach  the  goals  or  objective  of  the  learning.

17 Fourth, knowing learning style could help the students to answer their
individual needs, they can understand what their weakness are and what are their strength, furthermore they can fix their weakness but build up
their strength. Fifth, by informing learning style can empower students to  be  more  effective  and  independent  students,  since  they  know  their
weakness  and  strength  therefore  they  could  work  confidently  because they know where they are. Sixth, knowing learning style made students
not  just  able  to  work  using  their  strength  but  also  they  can  strengthen their  weakest  area.  Seventh,  it  can  be  used  for  differentiation  in
learning.  Teachers  can  use  the  learning  style  as  grouping  for  students for  gaining  the  goal  or  target  of  teaching  and  learning,  this  process
certainly fasten in gaining that goal.
Tri  Mulyati  stated  that  learning  style  is  needed  to  know individual learner differences to make the mastery better, after that the
most  suitable  strategy  are  chosen.

She  also  mentioned  that  this learning  strategy  is  really  helpful  for  L2  class  and  also  L2  teachers  to
improve their teaching. Learning strategies are procedures employed by the  learners  in  order  to  make  their  language  learning  as  successful  as
possible.  These  strategies  can  facilitate  the  internalization,  storage, retrieval or use of new language, strategies are tool for the self-directed
involvement necessary for developing communicative ability
, O’mallay and  Chammot  learning  strategies  may  include  focusing  on  selected
aspects  of  new  information,  analyzing  and  monitoring  information during  acquisition,  organizing  or  elaborating  on  new  information
during  the  encoding  process,  evaluating  the  learning  when  it  is completed or assuring oneself that the learning will successful as a way
to allay anxiety.

Oxford stated that learning style become one strategy that influencing L2 learning strategy, it is also mentioned that learning
style often help the choice of L2 learning strategy for example analytic- students prefer such as contrastive analysis, dividing words and phrase.
While  overall-students  use  strategies  to  find  meaning  guessing,
