The objectives of this study were 1) to examine the English learning strategies used by Chinese students in Thai private universities, and 2) to compare the English learning strategies used by female and male Chinese students. This study took the form of a mixed methods research using a questionnaire to collect both quantitative and qualitative data from 318 Chinese students at four private universities in Bangkok. The findings revealed that 1) on average Chinese students sometimes used English learning strategies (M = 3.20, SD = 0.74), and 2) on average the use of English learning strategies of male and female Chinese students in Thai private universities was not significantly different (p > 0.05). Recommendations were provided for English teachers to train Chinese students to use more English learning strategies, especially the strategies that they rarely use, and to conduct further research on the outcomes.
