This study investigates psychological aspects of university students who took English training program overseas. The comparison between a pre-test and a post-test in CELT showed this intensive English training had born fruits. The data of a questionnaire showed some interesting features: students chose Conversation as the most interesting subject; they worried whether or not they could make themselves understood when they spoke; they were embarassed because of a lack of vocabulary in daily life, and so on. Secondly, a comparison of the data in the questionnaires between high-scorers and low-scorers was done. It suggested that more high-scorers chose writing as the most interesting and significant subject than low-scorers and that more low-scorers felt that their listening ability improved most in this English training program. Thirdly, a comparison of the data was run between the high-achiever group and the low-achiever group. The findings in this comparison were contradictory. A further study with a larger population is needed before any conclusion can be made.
