Abstract

This study was designed to determine whether there is a significant correlation between parental involvement and students' motivation to learn English among 10th-grade students at one of the high schools in North Sulawesi. In addition to that, the researchers also wanted to find out the levels of parental involvement and students’ motivation in learning English. The questionnaires that were used in this research were adapted from Alam and Rosli (2016) and Gardner (2011). This study involved 70 respondents from grade 10 IPA 1, 10 IPA 3, 10 IPA 4 and 10 IPS 1 at a private high school in North Sulawesi. The findings showed that the level of parental involvement was 3.25, which indicates a moderate parental involvement. Furthermore, the findings showed that the level of students’ motivation in learning English was 4.12, which is interpreted as high motivation. Moreover, the results indicated a significant positive correlation between parental involvement and students’ motivation to learn English, as the p-value was .000. Thus, parental involvement is a significant factor that can help increase students’ motivation to learn English.

Abstract

Adopting descriptive and comparative research designs, this study set out to determine the level of university students’ willingness to speak English in class, the factors shaping that willingness, and whether students differed in their perceptions of these factors according to gender and English class level. A total of 313 university students enrolled in various English classes took part in the study. The findings indicate that, as the students themselves perceived it, they were willing to speak English during lessons, and that the factors shaping this willingness were having an interesting topic to discuss, being confident that their answer was correct, and being familiar with the topic. Male and female students did not differ to any meaningful degree in how they perceived the factors that affected their willingness to speak English. Students at different English-class levels, however, differed in their perceptions of these factors.
