For this study, I apply to theories of comparative education, educational psychology, psycholinguistics and researches on English learning strategies. Use methods like documental method, investigational method and comparative method to do the comparative study on the using of English leaning strategies of Han primary school students and Chinese Korean students. I did survey to the students of Grade Four, Grade Five and Grade Six. They are from five Korean schools and two Han schools. I000 questionnaires were given out in total, and 931 effective questionnaires were back.By comparing the results of the Han and the Chinese Korean students' English leaning strategies, conclusions were drawn as below:1.

Compared with Han students, Korean students have some advantages on English learning. Their level is higher on five strategies. Especially communicative strategies, they have significant difference, P<0.05. Han students are only better on memory strategy.3. Both Hanand Korean students have significant difference on genders.
