Parents’ Roles in Motivating Children in Learning English

Abstract
This case study attempted to discover the parents’ role toward their children in learning
English at home. One research question asked: what are the parents’ roles in motivating their
children in learning English? The participants of this study were two families (parents and
their child), both were from Salatiga. The data of this case study were collected from the
interviews and observations. The questions for the interview were adapted from Setyanti’s
research (2005) and based on Susan and Staiback’s theory (1999) that underlined the research
theory. The interviews were conducted to both parents and their children separately with
different sets of questions. An observation was also conducted to the parents and children to
obtain additional information that could not be collected by the interview. The data obtained
through the observation and interview was used for the analysis of this study. The analysis of
the data revealed that there were three types of parents’ role that parents in both families
played: facilitator, motivator, and supervisor.
Key Words: parents’ roles, facilitator, motivator, supervisor.
