%T THE CORRELATION BETWEEN PARENTS’ LANGUAGE ATTITUDES  AND STUDENTS’ ENGLISH ACHIEVEMENT AS EFL LEARNERS    IN NINTH GRADE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
%U http://digilib.unila.ac.id/86931/
%X This study aimed to explore the relationship between parents’ language attitudes  and students’ English achievement. It was conducted at Swadhipa 1 Natar Junior  High School, with 27 parents and ninth-grade students as subjects. Data on  language attitudes were collected through questionnaires, while English  achievement data were obtained from the first semester English report cards of the  academic year 2023-2024. The research applied an ex-facto design correlation  study, and the results were analysed using Pearson correlation.  The findings revealed a negative correlation between parents’ language attitudes  and students’ English achievement. The analysis indicated a correlation coefficient  of -0.62 (normalized parents' attitude score) and -0.61 (original), which, within the  Pearson correlation range, approaches -1. This suggests a strong negative  relationship, as the coefficient value exceeds -0.5. Consequently, in this study,  parents’ language attitudes cannot indicate their child's English achievement level.  Keywords: language attitude, English achievement, EFL learners, correlation,    teaching.
