How does family involvement influence the academic success of English language learners, and what strategies can schools use to foster effective collaboration with parents and caregivers?
It has been a consistent finding that if there are books in the family home, this tends to boost the academic and life skills of children.

Family involvement positively influences the academic success of English language learners by providing emotional support, reinforcing learning at home, and fostering strong school-home connections.
Dear Vira,
Thank you for raising such a vital question. In my view, family involvement is not just a support mechanism — it’s a symbolic co-authorship in the learner’s journey. For English language learners, this presence reinforces identity, resilience, and trust.
Schools can foster this by embracing multilingual communication, flexible engagement formats, and by recognizing parents as co-educators. It’s not only about inclusion, but about shared meaning-making.
I’d be glad to exchange further ideas on this — your research context at Memorial University adds a valuable perspective.
Warm regards,
Adrian Leonard Mociulschi
