Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between Iranian parents’ motivations and
their children English achievement and their English language proficiency. To fulfill this
objective, the Parents’ Motivation Questionnaire was distributed among 120 parents to
categorize the parents in two groups, one with high level of involvement and positive
motivation and the other with a lower level of involvement and less positive motivation and
they were recognizable by the codes that the researcher assigned. Descriptive statistics (mean
and standard deviation), and inferential statistics (correlation and independent t-test) were
used to analyze the data. On the basis of the results obtained from the present and previous
studies, it is concluded that the study of parents’ motivations, attitudes, and the activities they
have done at home toward the learning of English language helps us predict children’s
language achievement and school success.
