• Knowledge of Romaji has the strong correlation with the ability to read and write English words in general. However, their detailed relationship has not yet been discussed. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between Japanese students' Romaji ability (both knowledge of Romaji and Romaji processing) and the sub-components of English achievement at an initial learning stage, setting the following questions: How strongly does Romaji ability affect on sub-components of English achievement such as grammar, composition, etc? How does the rate of the effect change with the time passing? Two sets of study were conducted for nine months to verify the above questions. The participants were 40 junior high school students in the first grade. Through the two studies it is found that Romaji ability, especially romaji processing, affects the sub-components of English achievement for almost all through the initial learning stage. Its effect is gradually reduced and remains stable about 0.35 in correlation.
