    Learning styles represents a distinct way in which students prefer to receive and process information. The study "Learning Styles in EFL Learners" focuses on students' learning preferences, categorized into visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile (VAKT). The primary objective is to identify the EFL learning styles of students at “cerit” High School during the 2023-2024 academic year in Latacunga. This research employs a quantitative approach, relying on numerical data collected through the Perceptual Learning Style Preference (PLSP) Questionnaire. Descriptive statistical analysis reveals that students prefer tactile, visual, and kinesthetic learning styles, indicating that hands-on activities and visual aids are effective for teaching. Conversely, auditory learning is the least preferred, suggesting a lower reliance on lectures or audio content. The study underscores the importance of educators recognizing and adapting their teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of their students. Additionally, the findings have implications for teacher professional development, suggesting that increased awareness of learning styles can enhance lesson planning and the creation of instructional materials. The research concludes that fostering an inclusive learning environment tailored to students' preferences can improve their autonomy and commitment to learning English. Therefore, it is recommended that educators at “cerit” High School incorporate teaching strategies aligned with the various learning styles of their EFL students to enhance academic performance. This approach could lead to more effective teaching and improved outcomes for students with different learning preferences.
