This article investigates “Brain dominance theory, which suggests that each individual’s brain symmetry varies and really affects their attitudes towards language learning methods, study skills, task completion, self-expression etc. The research paper further attempts to prove that clarifying learners’ dominant brain will help teachers to analyze which skills their learners are capable of and can perform better. More specifically, the aim of this case study is to compare left and right brain dominance among language learners and compare which side is more or less capable in each English skill. Besides, this research endeavors to find out the best methods for English teachers to adapt English lessons to learners’ needs and abilities.
