Abstract: On the basis of literature review,the authors designed a questionnaire to examine the phonological processing strategy used by native Chinese college and middle school students who learning English,to investigate the effects of phonological processing strategy on learning with reference to sex,age of acquisition and major in college,and to distinguish the effects of phonological processing when listening,speaking,reading and writing English.The results showed that the adoption of phonological processing strategy varied significantly among listening,speaking,reading and writing.There was no difference in sex and age but difference in age of acquisition and major in college as Chinese learners using phonology strategy to learn English.In general,Chinese learners did not strongly depend on a phonological processing strategy when they are learning English.

Key words: phonological processing strategy, learning English, Chinese students
