The Socioeconomic Status of Parents and Parental Involvement in Post-Pandemic Era: A Longitudinal TEFL Study in Iran

There exists a scarcity of studies examining the intersection of neoliberalism discourse, parental involvement, beliefs, and Socioeconomic Status (SES) regarding speaking proficiency of young English learners in the post-pandemic era. To this end, ۲۸ children were selected along with their parents and were taught with the same syllabus, and tuition was waived for children with low SES. Two questionnaires were designed and validated to examine the effect of socioeconomic factors on parents’ beliefs and involvement. The findings showed that  SES has a significant effect on parental beliefs and involvement. The results also indicated that young learners’ parental factors could affect the success of these learners in the post-pandemic era. This research study can encourage more studies on intersectionality in educational research.
