摘要 英語學習一直是台灣很重視的一環，而許多家長更贊成提早學英語。台灣九年一貫課程改革也將英語教學由國小五年級改到國小三年級。本研究旨在了解國中學生從小學英語的經驗，與其學習態度改變過程。
本研究採取質的研究方法，以基隆市3名公立國中九年級學生為研究對象。研究過程採取訪談、觀察等方式為主要資料收集來源。資料涵蓋的面向為：(1) 家庭背景；(2) 從小到大學習英語的經驗；(3) 同儕間的影響；(4) 未來對英語學習的規劃。經過這些資料，本研究討論四個問題：(1) 有哪些關鍵點影響學生學習發展？ (2) 重要他人在學生學習經驗中的角色？ (3) 學生的英語學習態度從小到現在有何改變？以及 (4) 身為在台灣學習英語的孩子，面臨的可能性與挑戰。
本研究根據以上三個個案的討論結果，進一步提供相關建議，作為教育單位、學校英語老師、家長及未來研究的參考。
