The purpose of this study was to explore visa status effect between the language learning strategies (LLSs) in Hangeul learning of South-eastern Asians who live in Korea. The 125 South- eastern Asians who participated in this study learned Hangeul at the Foreign Language and Exchange Center at A university and the Nam-gu Migrant Culture Center at G city. They answered to our questionnaires composed of LLSs including a few about demographic information. We divided them into three visa category groups: the spouses, the workers and the students. The results were as follows: There was a significant statistical difference in LLSs according to their respective visa status. The working visa group showed better skills in memory, compensation and affective strategies than the spouse and students groups. This difference was statistically significant. These results indicated that according to visa category of South-eastern Asians, they used different LLSs to learn Hangeul. This study suggests that in designing and implementing the Hangeul learning program the Foreign Language and Exchange Center, the Migrant Culture Center, other language institutions and policy makers should carefully consider the visa status of learners.
