Abstract

The main aim of the article is to: 1) describe how learners' sensory preferences are implemented in the adaptive model of e-learning; 2) present and discuss results of research conducted within the model in the subject of English as a second/foreign language, particularly in reading and listening comprehension. Data evaluating the starting knowledge of English and learner's sensory preferences are processed by the virtual teacher and each learner is provided individualised study materials, exercises and tests. Data were collected by standardised English grammar tests, by VARK questionnaire and non-standardised didactic pre-tests and post-tests. Four hypotheses were tested; results proved significant differences in test scores in reading comprehension skills compared to listening comprehension from both the view of type of sensory preference and study materials.
