PARENTAL PARTICIPATION IN THE EDUCATION OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS IN A FOREIGN CONTEXT : OBSTACLES AND RESOLUTIONS IN A POST- PANDEMIC PERIOD

Abstract

Based on the findings of this study, it is known that parents need to assist their children in learning English post covid-19. Children experience problems when they do English assignments. The findings of this study state that some parents encounter problems in assisting children to learn English. This study used a qualitative approach. There were 11 respondents who participated in this study. Data was collected through interviews. The results of this study indicate that the assistance to children is carried out by parents themselves but there are also those who ask for help from others in assisting children. The factors of this assistance are due to problems in the child and also in the parents. Problems with children are due to children's inability to focus and problems with parents are related to time and different abilities. This assistance has implications for English learning and learning outcomes. They are more enthusiastic and their grades are also getting better.
