Learning styles have been a particular focus of a number of researchers over the past decades. Findings from various studies researching into how students learn highlight significant relationships between learners’ styles of learning and their language learning processes and achievement. This research focuses on a comparative analysis of the preferences of English learning styles and teaching techniques perceived by students from Thailand and Vietnam, and the teaching styles and techniques practiced by their instructors. The purposes were 1) to investigate the learning styles and teaching techniques students from both countries preferred, 2) to investigate the compatibility of the teaching styles and techniques practiced by instructors and those preferred by the students, 3) to specify the learning styles and teaching techniques students with high level of English proficiency preferred, and 4) to investigate the similarities of Thai and Vietnamese students’ preferences for learning styles and teaching techniques. The sample consisted of two main groups: 1) undergraduate students from King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB), Thailand and Thai Nguyen University (TNU), Vietnam and 2) English instructors from both institutions. The instruments employed comprised the Students’ Preferred English Learning Style and Teaching Technique Questionnaire and the Teachers’ Practiced English Teaching Style and Technique Questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using arithmetic means and standard deviation. The findings can contribute to the curriculum development and assist teachers to teach outside their comfort level to match the students’ preferred learning styles. In addition, the findings could better promote the courses provided for students. By understanding the learning style make-up of the students enrolled in the courses, faculty can adjust their modes of content delivery to match student preferences and maximize student learning. Finally, this research could establish better understanding between language learning natures of people from Thailand and Vietnam.

The purpose of this article is to identify specific features of economic education of adults in the context of current educational, economic and social challenges in Ukraine. The aspects explored are the content and functions of economic education as a social phenomenon, theoretical background of forming economic competence of adults, components of an economically literate person and existing forms of current economic education for adults. Methods of practical realization of pedagogical influence on adults, which are aimed at helping them to enhance their economic competence, are suggested. The concept of economic education embraces interrelation between the needs of the country and the natural, economic, scientific and practical ways of meeting these needs. It also includes developing scientific attitude to nature, economic and practical activity which ensures formation of economic culture on a personal level. Therefore methods of modern economic education should be based on the person-centered approach and individual development. The efficiency of economic education increases when learners acquire knowledge of principles of economics, management, labour productivity, etc. It is beneficial if adult learners are involved in a start-up, research or any other activity that involves real economic relations. Among the recommended forms of developing economic education of adults are cooperative practices including trainings, lectures with elements of discussion and interaction, case-methods and their analysis, business games, modeling, distant learning, teaching computer literacy in training centers, etc. The main methodological principles lying behind these forms are: stimulating participants’ activity, group work, project work, effective feedback. Another methodological approach that is of particular importance is employing IT technologies, which was emphasized as one of the priorities in the National strategy of education development in Ukraine for 2012–2021. This can be reached by using information and communication technologies along with traditional methods, developing individual learning programs of different levels depending on specific needs, creating electronic books, etc. Educational technologies for adults should provide tailor-based programs based on the previously acquired knowledge of age peculiarities of adults.
