Learning styles are unique to each person, and Verbal Learning Style is specific to people who learn best with words. This study aimed to determine the implications of Verbal Learning Style Characteristics of College Students' Oral English Skills. A correlational research design was used. The study was participated in by (50) fifty Teacher Education Program College students. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools to assess students' verbal learning style and oral English skills. The findings of the study showed that there is a significant correlation found between college students' verbal learning style as to memory and their level of oral English skills as to pronunciation which implied that ability to pronounce words is determined by their term memory to recall the manner on how words and phrases are sounded in English.
