Electronic books (ebooks) have gained considerable popularity in South Korea as a new reading medium that can facilitate children’s learning of English. In this exploratory research, we investigate young Korean learners’ current uses and parents’ perceptions of ebooks as EFL learning materials. Parents (n = 124) of preschoolers or primary school students responded to an online survey, and three respondents participated in semi-structured interviews. The main findings from the analyses of the survey responses and the interview data are that most children used ebooks together with printed books, with greater usage of the latter over the former, and have been reading ebooks for less than a year. Approximately half of the children read ebooks once or twice per week for 10 to 30 minutes and utilized three ebook features most frequently: audio narration, vocabulary quizzes, and reading comprehension quizzes. Parents generally reported high levels of satisfaction toward ebooks, considering them useful, easy, and convenient language learning materials that increased children’s exposure to English. They perceived ebooks as most useful for improving children’s listening, followed by reading abilities. Ebooks were deemed less beneficial in fostering speaking or writing abilities. Implications of the research findings, methodological limitations, and directions for future studies are discussed.
