The data obtained through the questionnaire was to see students’ learning styles and data from the test was to see students’ vocabulary scores. The research used SPSS to get appropriate data. Based on the research findings, the result showed F-value (F˳) is lower than F-table (Ft), (F˳ < F table). Further, the p-value is greater than alpha (ɑ), (p-value > 0.05). As a result, H˳ is accepted if F-value (F˳) < F-table (Ft) and probability significant (sig.) value > 0.05.
