As an increasing number of students in Taiwan attend English Cram schools to prepare for all kinds of English tests, the question-Who benefits from tutoring in English cram schools?-demands more attention. The purpose of this exploratory study is to examine how students with different attending motivations and achievement levels differ in their view of cramming for English. A survey questionnaire was designed and administered to 67 (male=32; female=35) junior high schools students in five English cram schools in Caotun township. Results of independent t-tests indicated that participants differed significantly in their viewpoint of helpfulness. There was no significant gender difference in the students’ viewpoints of attending English cram schools. However, participants who voluntarily attended English cram schools perceived a higher level of helpfulness than those who were forced to. They opined that attending English cram schools was helpful for their English learning. Moreover, students with different achievement levels perceived the level of helpfulness differently. Students with higher achievement tend to believe that cramming is helpful to them. Cramming helped them better understand the learning content in regular school, thereby improving their English grades. Based on the results, further studies and implications for education are provided.
