Learning styles are diverse ways that people learn and process information. They can impact how their learners understand, retain, and apply new knowledge. That is why understanding learner’s learning styles can help improve their learning process and lead to better performance. In the context of the Faculty of Tourism – Hanoi Open University (FOT-HOU), the researchers had an opportunity to observe students’ typical learning styles and recommended an appropriate solution to maximize them for their personal development. A survey based on the questionnaire of Honey and Mumford (2000) analyzed the typical learning styles suitable for tourism students. The results have determined that the effective style for learning tourism English at FOT-HOU is the combined transformation of all four learning styles. Project-based learning is the solution to help the students approach and improve their self-study capacity for learning tourism English in the most effective way.
