This paper reports on a pilot study of Japanese nursing college students’ use of English outside of the classroom and students’ enjoyment in speaking English, their second language (L2). A questionnaire was administered to the population of 77 students enrolled in a compulsory English conversation course. While two-thirds of the students “sometimes” or “often” listen to music in English and onehalf “sometimes” or “often” watch movies in English, one-fourth read English and less than one-sixth tried to speak English outside of class. The results were also analyzed according to continuance or non-continuance to an elective English conversation course. Data analysis using frequency statistics showed that enjoyment in speaking English was a statistically significant difference between the two groups of students. The paper concludes with four classroom implications.
