The research called Learning Styles in the teaching-learning process of the English language in educational units. The objective of the case study was to identify the learning styles of the students so that the teacher could propose strategies that can improve the learning of the English language in the participating educational units. At the same time, the research had a quantitative approach with the purpose of generating statistics based on the results obtained during the implementation of the Honey - Alonso Test of learning styles. The results presented show that there is no unanimity in the way students approach language learning. Finally, it is proposed as conclusions that among the main learning styles evidenced are the following: Active (Speaking/Listening), Theoretical (Reading), Pragmatic (Writing/Reflective), Active/pragmatic (Reading/writing), and Reflective/pragmatic (Reading/Writing).
