Meanwhile, the Theory of Experiential Learning Cycle by David Kolb (Kolb, 1984) is also relevant to this study. Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) defines learning as “the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience”.

However, effective learning only occurs when a learner is able to execute all four stages of the model. Therefore
According to Dhillon (2011), it was mentioned that Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire (PLSPQ) by Reid (1987) was specifically designed for adult non-native speakers of English language. As my research is focused on primary school students, it is not guaranteed that the PLSPQ is suitable to be administered in this research. A pilot test will be done on primary school students to ensure the suitability and reliability of this questionnaire in this current research. Despite this limitation
