The objective of this study is to investigate a connection between pupils’ self-confidence and extramural English. This is a quantitative survey study made among 37 fifth-graders in the Aland Islands, where a group of pupils were given questions about how they feel about English as a subject in school, and particularly about spoken English. There were also questions about their exposure to English at home. The results of the survey show that there is a connection between confidence and extramural English. Especially among the pupils playing computer games, the result shows that they are more self-confident when speaking English than the pupils who do not play computer games.
