The purpose of this study was to analyze the perceptions and attitudes of working parents toward elementary English education for their children. Based on the interviews with four working mothers, the following conclusions were retrieved. First, although their perceptions of the need and importance of English communicative skills did not differ from those revealed in previous studies, they showed broader views on its applicability compared to the past. Second, the working mothers showed a strong orientation toward private education in supporting their children s English learning, but they did not demonstrate strong, mother-led propulsion and dependence on information. Third, working mothers expressed some difficulties in effectively managing their children s English learning as well as the skepticism about their limited roles. Fourth, working mothers had such expectations as the early introduction of English education and the expansion of English learning hours in school to improve their children s English skills, but their participation in the school events related to English learning of their children was not active. Based on the implications of the present study, considering that the number of working parents is increasing, it would be necessary to conduct a comprehensive study to identify their needs and reorganize elementary English education policy. It was also proposed that schools should look for some possible ways for working parents to communicate and interact more actively with schools regarding their children s English learning.
