The study was necessitated by having scenarios where Chinese's students exhibited different learning styles due to the different personality traits. As a future teacher I felt the need to conduct this research and back up several studies that had been done on English learning as a foreign language. The study also checked and evaluated how personality differences affected learning and the personality effects in teachers teaching methods for Chinese college students. The study used qualitative study using literature review as methodology and described in-depth the conceptual philosophy, study strategy, data collecting procedure and techniques, strengths and limitations and ethical issues that were taken into consideration. There are different research philosophies that governed the study with qualitative research including ontology and epistemology. The research reported and discussed the cultural trends and the attitudes as well as approaches that Chinese college students had to their studies. The study also found out that Chinese college students used the major learning styles of rote, silent and passive. The study found that personality traits associated with students have a significant influence on the success of learning English as a second language.
