| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The implementation of the new Course of Study for Japanese elementary schools published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology commenced in 2020. In this reform, English is being introduced to younger grade children and English has become a core subject for the first time. This study was carried out during the period when teachers and schools were preparing for this change. The empirical research was carried out to investigate and analyse three main perspectives of elementary school teachers: 1) their beliefs and attitudes towards this reform; 2) a self-evaluation of their English abilities; and, 3) their classroom practices. In addition, in order to provide an international context for the Japanese reform, English teaching practices in South Korea, China and Cambodia as well as foreign language education in the UK and New Zealand were observed.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
小学校における英語教育については新聞等、メディアでも多く報道されており社会的な興味も高い。しかし、英語が小学校に導入されるにあたり、英語力あるいは英語指導力への不安を抱える小学校教員も少なくない。本研究では、Can-Do方式を取り入れたアンケートを通して自身の英語力・英語指導力を客観視できるように努めた。またその結果から必要とされる研修内容などをまとめウェブサイトとして公表した。
