Abstrak

This study aims to analyze the effect of parental education on students' English proficiency. The influence of parental education on the development of children's English language skills has been neglected in many previous studies. However, in the growing world of globalization, English language skills are becoming important. Therefore, parents' education plays a crucial role in supporting their children to master the international language. This study used a quantitative method with a survey approach involving 20 students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Al-Hidayah. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to parents and students. Data analysis was conducted using quantitative descriptive statistical techniques. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between parents' education level and students' English proficiency. Students with parents who have a higher level of education tend to have better English skills. The study also revealed that factors such as emotional support, learning facilities at home, as well as parents' involvement in children's learning activities greatly affect students' English learning outcomes. The findings are expected to provide insights for educators and parents on the importance of collaboration in improving students' English language skills
