Abstract
English is an international language used worldwide and inseparable due to globalization. Realising this, the Ministry of Education has introduced Malaysian University English Test (MUET) to bridge the gap between secondary and tertiary English language needs. MUET examination consists of four language skills and some of these skills become a great challenge for students to pass. Infact, the government has set a minimum MUET band requirement upon entering and graduating in local universities depending on the chosen courses. It is compulsory for students to pass MUET examination with at least Band 3 before entering tertiary education system. However, several studies done discovered that many students were still struggling with this requirement. Hence, Pre-University students are on one of the most thrilling yet challenging journeys to kick start in pursuing their higher education. It is undeniable that each student has his or her own learning style. As such, it is important for students to identify and understand their own individual learning style to excel in this subject. Hence, the purpose of this study is to determine the dominant individual learning style among the semester 1, Pre-University students for MUET in a selected premier secondary school. A survey was conducted using the 3-point Likert scale questionnaire with 33 items to collect data from 31 semester 1, Pre-university respondents. The findings in this study showed that 36.57% of the Pre-University students prefer Self Study, 32.25% prefer Mentor Coaching and 31.18% learn better by Group Study with friends.
