“Learning style” was proposed in the study of English as a native language by American scholar Thelen in 1954, and then developed into the study of English as a second language. In China, learning style started to be studied relatively late, which was developed on the basis of referring to the concept of learning style in western educational psychology. Chinese experts in the field of education have devoted themselves to investigating the individual differences of learners. In 1994, studies were carried out on learning style, focusing mainly on its classification, the relationship between learning style and language learning performance, etc. Studies have shown that the learning efficiency of learners can be promoted by providing them with appropriate learning content organization methods according to their different learning styles. These studies are of great significance for future research on the acquisition and teaching of Chinese as a foreign language.
