早期外语教学中英语的普及是一个全球现象。欧洲的父母和政策制定者渴望让幼儿接触外语，通常是英语（De Houwer，2015）。同样，在日本，英语是学校事实上的外语科目（Sakamoto，2012）。小学低年级引入英语教育，以及利用英语考试成绩进入中小学或大学或就业，使英语比以往任何时候都更加重要。这些教育政策促使许多日本家长送孩子去上英语课或让他们参加英语学前班或课外课程。就读国际学校是获得高英语水平的必由之路，但并不是每个家庭都能负担得起高昂的学费。
The popularity of English in early foreign language teaching is a global phenomenon. Parents and policymakers in Europe are eager to expose young children to a foreign language, which is usually English (De Houwer, 2015). Likewise, in Japan, English is the de facto foreign language subject in schools (Sakamoto, 2012). The introduction of English education in lower elementary grades and the use of English examination scores to enter schools or universities or gain employment has made English more important than ever. These educational policies motivate many Japanese parents to send their children for English lessons or enroll them in English preschools or after-school programs. Attending an international school is a definite way to acquire high English proficiency, but not every family can afford the high tuition.
