Abstract: Style is the man. This shows that style is individualistic and personally focused. Brown (1987) “style is those general characteristics of individual functioning that especially pertain to you as an individual, that differentiate you from someone else”. Brown (2000, 700 posit that styles are generally idiosyncratic, specific to individuals. We often say, it is Soyinkas Achebes, or other literary styles in literature and the style in literature is known as literary styles. The number of learning styles are indeterminate and in a state of flux. It varies according to the analyst perspectives. Hill (1972) has 27, Brown (1987, 2000, 2007) has 5, Oxford (1999) has 4, and Ausubel (1968) has 18 different styles. Styles are those characteristics which differentiates one individuals from the other or group of individual from another group with similar characteristics in general and in language learning in particular.
