In order to attain the goal to present guidelines and problems for the introduction of English into primary school education as a regular school subject, the study captured the current situation of foreign (and English) language education at primary school in Finland and then conducted a questionnaire study to analyse primary school pupils' perceptions about English language learning. The results have disclosed that learning English as a regular school subject at primary school will not necessarily induce disinterest in English.
