           Approach in the teaching process is one important aspect in determining the success of learning. The approach chosen for the setting detail a particular class to determine the pattern of learning activities in class. If the approach is chosen according to student characteristics, teaching and learning activities will be carried out effectively, and learning objectives will be easily achieved. To learn the language consists of techniques and activities that you decide to use them in the learning process of language learning, based on what your beliefs about language and how to learn, learning style preferences and constraints of the learning situation.

        Here are 3 modules in the approach to language learning based on learning style in which I will present:

            A. Relational approach to language learning

            B. Analytical approach to language learning

            C. Structured approach to learning languages

A. RELATIONAL APPROACH

        For learners who have learning styles relational (relational Learners) is a particular interest as they engage in language learning. They are very empathetic and tend to want to close with the speaker during a communication both verbal and non verbal. Intuition is what helps them to quickly understand the language system and assist them in relating the meaning of the context and specific situation. Teachers can handle this type of learners with a relational approach. Here are some records that must be understood when teachers use this type of approach:

                          i.      Find as much information on the process of learning a second language. The aim is that teachers can explore and explore how language learning can easily reach the target.

                        ii.      Continue to observe and understand the conditions that are taking place in the middle of learners.Ø Here, the expertise of teachers in learning to read every situation is critical.

                      iii.      Use the expertise in socializing (social skills) thereby building a positive relationship both among teachers and learners, and among the learners themselves because it is basically a relational approach emphasizes how language is being learned can be used as a medium of communication.

                      iv.      Bring all your creative ability to create interesting learning techniques, including using the techniques of the game, and finding ways so that learners can use both languages ​​are active.

                        v.      Perform observation and reflection (reflection) as a way to evaluate the learning process.

B.  ANALYTIC APPROACH

Learners with learning style analysis has the advantage when he was learning a second language. This is because they have the ability to analyze and understand the principles of the language system. Therefore, to handle these types of learners, learning materials should be emphasized towards the development of their analytical skills and develop a strategy including a conversation to present the real situation and the achievement of language proficiency. There are some things that should be considered when teachers plan to use this analytical approach in language learning, namely:

                          i.         Provide many teaching materials written or audio text form;

                        ii.         Take advantage of students' initial knowledge about the system of their native language as a starting point for planning a material that will be taught.

                      iii.         Use a technique that requires a learning process that trains the ability to get the message as an exercise to improve language skills really are.

                      iv.         Teach the language as something alive and dynamic, do not just teach the language as "inanimate objects".

                        v.         Use a strong intuition of our students in understanding the patterns of sentences.

                      vi.         Use analytical skills students to recognize cultural issues, the way people think and recognize the language itself.

                    vii.         Take advantage of the ability of students who like to mingle with others to improve the communicative abilities.

C. STRUCTURE APPROACH

Learners with a structured learning style usually will easily follow the material presented in a structured way. Unstructured approach is usually difficult to be accepted by learners of this type. Therefore, the teacher as much as possible making the right plan, so that learning objectives can be achieved. There are several things that must be considered by teachers when they use this type of approach to this structure in language learning. Among them:

                          i.         The program must be well planned.

                        ii.         Learning materials should include a structured component.

                      iii.         Use anything that will be studied with a structured session.

                      iv.         Use problem-solving skills (problem solving) to explain how we use language.

                        v.         Center the practical issues of material we are studying.

It is allowing teachers to use learning style that made him and his protege participants feel comfortable and at the same time increased the motivation of learners to learn. Sometimes even, doing some unusual activity is essential to achieve progress. However, it appears in language teaching, it is very important for teachers to be able to reduce the stress of the learners, for example to open talks naturally with learners to communicative competence in a second language can achieve the significantly.
