The instrument used for this research were interviews, and a series of probes to evoke the respondents’ responses concerning learning strategies’ thoughts and feelings about their experiences. The Daily Interpretive Analysis (DIA) was used to analyse the results. It was found that the strategies which were used the most among the mobility students are memory-related strategies to help them to remember certain vocabularies.

It is hoped that this research will provide information about of the use of language learning strategies, which will enhance French learning for non-native learners. Further, the better understanding of language learning strategies for French teachers can help students to learn more successfully and develop their learning autonomy.
