This study investigated the basic perceptual learning style preferences (auditory, visual, kinesthetic, and tactile) and preferences for group and individual learning of Cambodian, Hmong, Lao, and Vietnamese students and compared them with those of White students. This study found significant ethnic group differences in the learning style preferences of Southeast Asian and White students as well as significant differences within diverse Southeast Asian groups. But this study did not confirm any gender differences or students’ achievement level differences. Southeast Asian students’ learning styles were not related to their nativity or their length of residence in the United States or their placement in English as a second language classes.
