Abstract: In this paper are the authors presenting the results of the Specific Research Project in the frame of which the Feldeŕs learning styles inventory was administered to students who were non-English native speakers. This research is part of one of the authoŕs dissertation which deals with dichotomous learning style preferences and their reflection in teaching professional English at bachelor studies of Tourism Management at Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove.
