One of the educational objectives at Yamanashi Eiwa Junior and Senior High School is to develop global human resources who have the ability to connect and communicate each other and learn by themselves. These educational contents are called “Global Studies (GS)”. In this paper, we report on the effects of GS on: (a) attitude to these three abilities, (b) degree of efforts to acquire them, (c) motivation for global human resources. To estimate the details of (a)～(c), we carried out the questionnaire survey related to (a)～(c) to the following groups: Group (A) high school students who have not yet attended GS and Group (B) high school students who have attended GS for one year. The results of analysis of the questionnaire showed that Group (B) has higher ability of (a)～(c) than Group (A). These results suggest that GS has the possibility of enhancing the ability of (a)～(c).
