The goal of our project is to evaluate and see how much and what Japanese elementary school children can learn in English classes in Japan using the Cambridge Young Learners English Tests as an assessment tool. This is a report on our project, which received a grant from Hokuriku Gakuin Junior College for the academic year of 2006. The elementary school's English education as EFL requires a lot of personnel effort and materials, but the fruit of the education has not been fully and objectively assessed. In this paper, we first see what effect the education at elementary schools has on that of junior high schools. We will then show details about the background of our subjects and, lastly, we will analyze and discuss the results of the Cambridge Young Learners English Tests held in May, 2006. In the analyses and discussions, we compare the results of our subjects with those of the Japanese examinees and Korean examinees. This allows us to evaluate the current English education in a single Japanese elementary school in terms of a certified world standard.The goal of our project is to evaluate and see how much and what Japanese elementary school children can learn in English classes in Japan using the Cambridge Young Learners English Tests as an assessment tool.
