A study was conducted to examine the effects of two English language summer study abroad programs on affective change among Japanese female university students. Pre-and posttests were administered, using questionnaires partially adopted from an instrument developed by aIwakiri (1993), to obtain data pertaining to (1) change in attitude toward English, Canada, and Canadians, (2) change in image of Canadians, and (3) change in perception of English skills level. The posttest questionnaire also contained open-ended questions to uncover (1) the participants' perception of the program's effectiveness on English learning, (2) what the participants believed they learned most, (3) what they felt was best about the program, and (4) what they perceived as most difficult during their stay in Canada in 1995. Furteen female university students participating in a three-week homestay program, and twenty-three in twelve-week program, took part in the study. Statistical analysis was not applied and therefore statistically significant levels were not revealed. However, mean scores showed that there was little change in attitude toward English and in image of Canadians. The student' attitudes towards English and Canadians were, however, more or less positive. The students also felt the program helped improve their listening comprehension and speaking skills.
