On the Link between Identity Processing Styles and Learning Styles among Iranian EFL learners

The present study attempted to investigate the relationship between Iranian EFL Learners’ Identity processing styles and their learning styles. To this end, 29 advanced learners (23females and 6 males) were randomly selected from an English language Institute in Tehran using simple randomization. Participants were asked to fill out the40-itemRevised Identity Style Inventory developed by Berzonsky (2010) and 24-item Learning Styles Inventory questionnaires. The Spearman s Rank Order correlation results revealed that Iranian EFL learners’ identity processing style and learning style were not related to each other. An independent t-test applied in order to compare the mean scores of male and female turned out that there was not a significant difference between the mean scores of the two groups on the learning style.
