Elementary school level English education software for tablet-type device was developed, and the effect on pupils’ impression and learning were examined. 51 pupils (5th and 6th graders) were divided into TV group (25 pupils: watching TV program for elementary school level English), and Combined group (26 pupils: Watching TV and studying with the tablet-type device). The result showed that both TV group and Combined group showed improvement in general impression on English (e.g. I like English), preference to English listening (e.g. I like listening English), and attitude toward cultural difference. In terms of learning, the combined group showed higher improvement than the TV only group in 3 out of 5 tasks which measured English learning. This result showed that combined study method is more effective than watching TV alone for better impression and English learning.
