Research Abstract

The present study was undertaken to examine whether the English instruction before entering junior high school, 12-year-old of age, is highly effective to improve students' English proficiency, or not. We investigated the relationships between English proficiency and the learning experience by means of CASEC and a questionnaire. The results of 1460 junior high school students attending six public schools in Japan suggested the effectiveness of English instruction before junior high school in improving students' English proficiency, especially listening abilities. For the students in public junior high school, the amount of English learning before junior high school seemed to affect the degree of their acquiring higher English proficiency.
