摘要：The present study intends to investigate the relationship between Iranian parents’ involvement, attitude, educational background and level of income and their children’s English achievement test scores. At first, a reliable questionnaire was used and distributed among 140 parents. Next, to categorize parents in two levels, the normal curve and the Z score analysis were used and they were divided into two groups, with a higher or lower level of involvement and more or less positive attitude. Then, to find the students’ achievement, a standard final achievement test was distributed among 70 primary school student. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation and the Spearman rank Order Correlation (rho) were employed to explore the relationship between the variables. The outcomes showed that there are highly positive correlations between the parents’ involvement, attitude, educational background and income level and their children’s English achievement. It should be mentioned that parents’ involvement and attitude were found to be really significant in their children’s learning meaning the more they get involved in and the more positive attitude they have toward their young children’s language learning, the more their children achieve in the education and also the higher level of parents’ education and income are effective in children language achievement.
