It attempts to identify those domains most sensitive to early English instruction by employing a state-of-the-art quantitative research methodology. English education was formally introduced in Japan for fifth and sixth graders in 2011 and is still in its infancy as a program. This study compares two groups (Grade 7 and 8) of students, one with ELES and one without, in order to shed light on their experiences. Comparisons are carried out not only quantitatively, measuring changes in English skills (listening, speaking, reading, and vocabulary / grammar) and the ELES students? affective aspects, but also qualitatively through in-depth interviews. Thus, this study attempts to capture the ELES students? experiences from a multi-dimensional perspective. The comprehensive literature review provided offers a valuable resource not only for researchers looking for a quick digest of the literature in this field before undertaking their own research, but also for policy-makers seeking to assess how to best implement ELES. 606 $aLanguage and education 606 $aLanguage Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O23000 615 0$aLanguage and education. 615 14$aLanguage Education. 676 $a370 676 $a407.1 700 $aUematsu$b Shigeo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226209 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483514503321 996 $aLong-term effects of Learning English$92847074 997 $aUNINA
