Summary/Abstract: It is important for the effectiveness of learning environments to consider group or individual learners’ characteristics, competences and experiences throughout the process of planning learning environments. This study aimed at investigating the differences of language learning styles between males and females and among four high school grades. The participants were 90 male (46.2%) and 105 female (53.8%) high school students studying at public religious high school (Madrasa) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For testing the main research questions, a 5-point likert scale questionnaire was distributed to 195 high school students. While no significant correlation was found between learning styles and gender, a significant correlation was unexpectedly found between learning styles and grades. These results are a good platform for the research of gender and grade based differences among language learners.
