1.2 Statement of Research Problem
Studies have indeed worked on language acquisition in relation to temperaments and classroom teaching techniques, but how temperament assists or impedes the learning of English language as a second language by Turks of an intermediate level has not been adequately investigated, as there is little or no literature on this. As noted all along, temperaments play a big role in second language or L2 acquisition; this is what this research addresses, as well as recommending appropriate and suitable teaching techniques for each of the temperaments to enable optimal acquisition of the second language ‘ English.

1.3 Purpose of the Study
The aim of this study is to look into if and how the various temperaments affect language learning, acquisition and skills in Turkish English language learners. Also, the study proposes suitable teaching techniques for the examined temperaments as it relates to learning.
1.4 Objectives of the Study
i) To investigate the awareness of temperament types among Turkish L2 speakers;
ii) To analyse the influence of temperament on the level of performance in L2 acquisition by Turkish EFL Speakers; and
iii) To suggest, based on findings, teaching methods that can be used to improve the deficiency of each temperament in L2 acquisition?

1.5 Research questions
The following research questions that are important to this study are given below. These will help to have a clearer understanding of the main focus of this research.
1. Can people determine the temperament they belong to?
2. What role does temperament plays in the L2 acquisition?
3. What teaching methods can be used to improve the deficiency of temperament in L2 acquisition?

1.6 Research Hypotheses
1) People to a large extent will be able to determine the temperament they belong to.
2) Temperament plays a major role in Second language acquisition ‘ English ‘ in Turkish speakers.
3) Teaching methods will vary due to the different temperaments and their requirements and the strengths and weaknesses of these teaching techniques.
1.7 Significance of Study
The understanding of a temperament gives space for other types to be understood ‘ their advantages and disadvantages. This study therefore enhances the understanding of ESL and language teaching as
