Abstract

Since 2020, Japanese elementary schools have implemented English education from third grade. This study addresses students with learning difficulties who have negative perceptions of English, using practical measures such as ICT-based learning, integrated subjects, and student reflection, reducing negative perceptions from 14.62% to 11.5%. The study concludes that flexible and diverse teaching strategies, including audio learning, are essential to alleviate negative perceptions and promote positive English learning experiences.
