Summary/Abstract: It is very important to assist foreign language teachers in adjusting their teaching styles to accommodate the diverse learning styles of their students. We present results of a case study concerning basic EFL learning styles (four perceptual and group/individual styles) of Bosnian high school students (N=154). Descriptive statistical analysis was used based on Reid’s PLSP questionnaire. As previous studies of other ethnic groups revealed, this study also suggests different perceptual learning style preferences and gender differences. We assume that learning style and individual differences make the identical instruction effective for some students and ineffective for others and support it with the latest studies on brain structure.
