English learners can online access to learning resources, anywhere and anytime. However, little is known about elementary students’ experiences as well as their attitudes toward e-learning for language learning. This study aimed to explore the EFL elementary students’ learning experiences and attitudes on using Cool English, which is an electronic learning platform for language learning. The participants of this study were 8 EFL fifth-grade students recruited from an elementary school in Nantou. The students’ action records, the attitude questionnaire and the transcripts of the focus group interviews were the major data sources. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that the students had positive experiences and attitudes on using Cool English, and also had some suggestions. The findings have implications for English teachers and students.
