Abstract

The present study investigates the influence of parental involvement and school environment on enhancement of English language skills using Language Laboratory at the secondary level. An experimental research is carried out with a sample of 60 standard IX students and it consists of 30 Control and 30 experimental groups. The research tools used are Parental Involvement Scale (Adapted from Prattana Charoenlap (2017) and modified by the investigators), School Environment Scale (Adapted from Lodhi et al. (2019) and modified by the investigators) and Linguistic Knowledge Assessment Scale developed by the investigators. The results of the statistical analyses show a significant correlation among parental involvement, school environment and linguistic knowledge at the secondary level. However, significant differences between pre-test and post-test are observed among standard IX students at the secondary level pertaining to their parental involvement, school environment and enhancement of English Language skills using Language Laboratory.
