This study looks at changing perceptions of English-language education and e-learning among first-year students at Okayama Prefectural University (OPU) after completing a full year of English classes. We conducted a questionnaire-based survey at the beginning and end of the 2016 academic year, and the results show that although students had similar beliefs about learning English, their desire to learn English had decreased by the end of the year. Furthermore, while only slightly less than half of students felt that the materials were effective, more than half did not like using them.
