Abstract

Performance deficiencies and inconsistencies among SLA or FL learners can be attributed to variety of sources including both systemic (i. e., language issues) and individual variables. Contrary to a rich background, the literature still suffers from a gap as far as delving into the issue from Language Proficiency and learning style is concerned. To fill the gap, this study addressed EFL learners’ interlanguage performance (i. e., error types) in the light of their Learning Styles and Language Proficiency levels. Participants were 73 Iranian graduate EFL learners, who received the Michigan proficiency tests along with the Perceptual Learning-Style Preference Questionnaire (of Reid) in order to measure their Language Proficiency level and learning style types. For the purpose of the study they were divided into pre-intermediate, intermediate and upper-intermediate levels. To explore their performance inconsistencies, both oral data from an semi-structured (SST) interview and written data based on an on-the-spot piece of writing were used and then classified based on Corder’ s (1971) scheme into pre-systematic, systematic and post-systematic errors. The results revealed significant relationships among the target variables, if not predictor-predicted relationships. The non-linear relationship among the variable underscores significance of an integrative approach to EFL learner’ s performance inconsistencies and the importance of stylistic instruction in EFL contexts.
