Resumen

The educational system in Colombia has been affected during the last decades for a phenomenon called desertion. English teaching and learning has also been influenced by such a problem. Many important researches have been conducted in order to understand which factors pressure to a student to decide to abandon his or her studies. Those studies have been focused in determine social, economical and personal situations in students’ attitudes towards university education. However, this study has focused in analyzing the role played by Learning Styles in student desertion. The results presented in this research prove that adaptation was not a problem for students. On the other hand, grammatical patterns and role play activities offered difficulties to them. The survey developed in order to know the opinions of those students who entered to the first semester of English and French in 2004, proved that most of them did not consider their own learning styles as factors intervening their decisions of abandonment. Since major writers in ELT such us O’Malley & Chamot in 1990; Oxford, 1990; Oxford et Al, 1990; Weaver & Cohen, 1994; Wenden, 1986; proposed Learning Styles as important elements in Second Language Learning, the topic proposed in this study constitutes a relevant one in language education.
