Abstract
The principal objective of this work is to determine the incidence of the different teaching styles of the foreign language professors at the Foreign Language Department at the University of El Salvador on their students’ learning process. The teaching learning process implies many steps and resources. Both students and teachers are the unique beings who possess their own way of learning and teaching. The English teaching and learning process is a pedagogical act that involves both teachers and students and the relationship among challenging and interesting activities, course goals, and evaluation that make students get involved in class. The teachers cannot stick to what is written in English teaching method books, but it is suggested that they use them as a help to manage the class effectively and find out students’ interests to make a vital, dynamic scene of real conversational or discussion situations, so the teachers play a huge role in the learning process, and how teachers develop activities in the classroom, and just how they present the materials affect how well students learn and how much they retain. teaching styles represent those enduring personal qualities and behaviors that appear in how we conduct our classes. It is something that defines us, that guides and directs our instructional processes, and that has effect on students and their ability to learn. Also teaching style refers to a teacher‘s personal behaviors and media used to transmit data or receive them from the learner and involve the implementation of the teacher’s philosophy about teaching.
