Also, it is aimed to test the success of teaching of vocabulary at recognition level.The data collected were obtained from experimental studies in Bingöl High School To collect the data, two learning style idendification instruments and a posttest was implemented. Instruction materials and the following instruction were designed and implemented in accordance with the students' previously determined learning styles. Two types of instruction, the visual and the auditory one, were implemented. The results of learning- style-identification instruments demonstrated that students' learning styles can be diagnosed quite reliably, it was observed that the preparation and implementation of instructional materials geared to students' learning styles can enhance vocabulary learning at recognition level. In other words, the study has proved to some extent that students can learn better when they are taught through the specific channels which reflect their specific learning styles. This means that the hypothese that students' learning styles can be diagnosed reliably, was accepted. And a the other hypothese that vocabulary learning at recognition level can be improved through gearing the preparation and implementation of instructional materials to students' previously determined specific learning styles, and thus learning in general can be enhanced, was also accepted.
