Teaching styles refer to approaches an educator uses to impart knowledge to students. There are various teaching styles educators can use either as a single style or a combination of more than one. Different styles are used to ensure different students' needs can be catered. This depends on the nature of subject matter, the goals of the lesson and the needs of the students. Even though teaching styles have been discussed for many years, little attention has been given to teaching styles among language lecturers at higher learning. This research aims to identify the different teaching styles among language lecturers, and which of the teaching styles is the most dominant for each lecturer. The instrument was adapted from the Grasha-Riechmann Teaching Styles Questionnaire (1996), which measures five teaching styles such as Personal Model Teaching Style, Expert Teaching Style, Formal Authority Teaching Style, Delegator Teaching Style, and Facilitator Teaching Style. Findings showed that there is a significant difference between genders only for formal teaching style and the most dominant teaching style is facilitator. These findings have brought up a better understanding of teaching styles among language lecturers.
