Among the different majors, there are significant differences in using memorystrategies and cognitive strategies between the students who learn Chinese and geography.The students who learn history and geography have significant difference in using socialstrategies. Though the goal of learning English may be different due to the students’ majors,the difference in using learning strategies is relatively slight. However, the author has foundthat though the biology majors get the highest CET4 scores, they do not use more learningstrategies. But the geography majors, who get the lowest CET4 scores, also use less learningstrategies.
 The difference in metacogitive, cognitive and affective strategies is significant. Andthe students of the high score group have advantage in the use of strategies exceptcompensation strategies. This shows that, on the whole, the good learners are better at usingstrategies to adjust their learning and they have a positive attitude towards language learning.The students of the low score group get the highest score in compensation strategies and thelowest in using metacognitve strategies. As for the high score group, the highest is memorystrategies and the lowest affective strategies. From this we can surmise that the students ofthe low score group do not grasp effective learning methods so they use more compensationstrategies. And the students of the high score group are more self-confident and they can usememory strategies very well. But they do not often use affective strategies.
The subjects of this study are the 178 junior non-English majors of Northeast NormalUniversity. The range and number of the sample is small. If some other subjects of othernormal universities can be included, the results will be more persuasive. Besides, there is nointerview in this study, so we can not know the details of their language learning. In the future,further studies can be more comprehensive, for example, interviewing some participants inorder to know their understanding of the learning strategies and how they really use them intheir daily language learning.
