(4) Writing is the most difficult language skill for EFL college students. (5) Limited vocabulary is students’ major problem in improving four language skills. (6) EFL college students tend to tackle their learning difficulties by using self-learning magazines and asking for English teachers’ help.(7) Students with higher entrance exam scores tend to spend more time in out-of-class English learning. (8) Gender and learning activities are not closely related, except that more male than female students write email in English. (9) Students’ English scores and their learning activities (i.e., email writing, listening to ICRT, reading English magazines, reading news online, watching movies, and studying English online) are related. (10) Learning activities and time spent are not closely tied. 本研究探討316位英文為第二外語之大學生的課外英文學習活動，學習困難，並探討性別，英文成績，學習英文時數，及英文學習活動之間的關係。研究結果顯示：(壹)有一半以上的學生寫英文電子郵件，閱讀網上英文新聞，上網學英文及看英文影
