The aim of this thesis is showing the importance of learners’ personality in language
learning classes and the effect of personality on language learning process. It helps teachers to deal
with the representatives of different personalities and clarify the ways and methods of working
with them, which is valuable for the teachers. This also discusses the importance of knowing the
learner’s personality in achieving to effective teaching and learning.
Key words:
learner’s personality, learning style, individual differences, characteristics,
academic performance, effective teaching, effective learning
In bringing up comprehensively advanced generation is in the hands of well-educated
educational instructors. Our society is always in need of more well-educated, professional
teachers who can teach effectively. Because it is not easy to deal with different learners who
has various (background) personality, learning style, knowledge no matter how well-educated
or experienced teacher you are. Knowing the personality of your learner is one of the best ways
of dealing with your learners. It also means that by learning your learner you can teach them
effectively.
Many of us believe that individual differences that are inherent in the learner can predict success
or failure in language learning. Such beliefs may be based on our own experience or that of people
we have known. For example, many teachers are convinced that extroverted learners who interact
without inhibition in the second language and seek opportunities to practice language skills will
be the most successful learners. In addition to an outgoing personality, other characteristics often
believed to predict success in language learning are intelligence, aptitude, motivation, and the age
at which learning begins.
In this scientific work, we will see whether these intuitions are supported by research findings.
To what extent can we predict differences in the success of second language acquisition if we
have information about learners’ personalities, their general and specific intellectual abilities, their
motivation, or their age? One of the important objectives in foreign language learning and teaching
today is certainly learning more about the students and increasing the awareness in personal
differences in the language classroom. In the history of language teaching, there used to be a hot
debate about which methods the teachers need to apply to the teaching-learning process. However,
in modern language teaching today, relating individually with the students on academic basis and
trying to learn more about the student profile provides further advantages for the language learner
and the teacher to meet the program goals and objectives. Here, the personality of the student
appears to be in the core of the issue. According to Messick “there are three reasons for being
interested in personality. They are; first, to gain scientific understanding, second, to access people
and next, to change people” [3]. For Messick, the first one is theoretical while the second and the
third ones are applicable.
In order to develop strategies for learning and teaching purposes, personality should be
studied by the language teachers to provide a more fruitful learning and teaching environment
both for himself and the learners, because there is a close connection between the personality of
the student, the style and the strategy that the student develops in order to learn and the success
(academic performance) achieved from a particular course at the end of the semester. Since 1990s,
there has been a growing interest on how personality correlates to the academic performance. An
individual’s personality can have an effect on to what extent he is able to achieve information.
Moreover, Chamorro-Premuzic & Furnham conducted a study to investigate the relationship
between personality traits and academic performance in three longitudinal studies of two British
university samples. Additionally, indicators such as attendance, tutorials, etc. were also studied in
relation with the personality traits [1]. The results showed that personality is significantly related
to the academic performance.
There are also other studies to indicate the relationship between personality traits, learning
