Abstract
Students use a variety of learning strategies to acquire a foreign language. This topic has been studied since the 1960s, especially in the case of English. This study proposed as research questions: what types of learning strategies did Chinese foreign language students use in online courses during the COVID-19 pandemic? And how often did Costa Rican learners use these strategies in the four skills? Therefore, through a quantitative research with 51 students who responded to an online questionnaire applied in 2022, it was found that the student employed a variety of strategies.
