[SUMMARY] In this study, the author administered a questionnaire to a group of university students who registered for the class “Foreign Language Activities I”（held in the first semester, 15 lectures） prior to and after the course for five years（2010 to 2015, except for Year 2013）. Participants were 140 students who took the course in the Faculty of Education（32 students in 2010, 24 students in 2011, 38 students in 2012, 25 students in 2014, 21 students in 2015）. The collected data were statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA. The results revealed that the participants were aware that their knowledge of early English education increased through taking the course. They were also aware that they decreased their anxiety about early English education through taking the course although the degree of their anxiety varied annually. The decrease in their anxiety from the beginning to the end of the course showed a statistically significant difference. However, some practical contents taught in the course such as how to make lesson plans, how to make a unit of lessons, how to build a curriculum still remained worries for the participants.
