The purpose of this study was to find out the relationships among learning styles, strategies, awareness of learning of Korean college students as they took an online class during the pandemic. In order to achieve the purpose, specific questions were established: 1) what types of learning style do Korean college students have? 2) what kinds of learning strategy do they use in online classes? and 3) how do their learning styles, strategies, and awareness of learning correlate with each other? Twenty-two college students responded to the questionnaires; the O’Brien (1989)’s Learning Styles Questionnaire, the Oxford (1990)’s Strategy Inventory of Language Learning, and the Rovai (2002)’s Classroom Community Scale. The Pearson correlation efficient was used for the relationships among the three variables. The results of data analysis showed that the least preferred learning style was the auditory style, and more than half of the students indicated that they would learn best as they were involved in some kinds of physical movement. Also, they used the meta-cognitive strategy the most, and the affective strategy the least. Finally, kinesthetic learners were likely to have a statistically significant correlation with the sub-construct, ‘Mutual dependence and cooperation.’ Based on the results, suggestions and implications for the classroom are presented.
