Abstract

This paper presents the results of research and studies on the level and extent of parental influence on the development of the general learning process in their children, as well as the role of parents in English language learning in particular, including contemporary trends in English language learning, including and applying modern knowledge in students' learning and progress. Parents play a critical role in a child's English language development. Numerous studies have shown that children who are read to and spoken with a great deal during childhood will have larger vocabularies and better grammar than those who aren't. Some ways that proved useful into child's language development were narration since the earliest age and evolving through the process, reading to your child since the amount of time parents spend reading with their child is fine predictor of their future reading success. Also, parents and their kids should enjoy the music together since young children love music and movements as they will learn about the world around them and the rhythm of the language. We as parents should not forget to tell our kids elaborate stories with characters, conflict, adventure, and a happy ending. As parents we should never criticize our child's articulation or English language speech patterns and instead, we should repeat his statements back to him with the correct pronunciation or word usage. Television and computers should be used only sparingly although some educational programs can be beneficial to kids, TV shows don't interact with or respond to children as parents do. Instead of starring into TV or computer monitor organize them a trip to the zoo, the aquarium, or a children's museum, which will open up a whole new world for your child. Learning the names in English language of all those fascinating creatures and fun activities they experienced would be very beneficial for them. This is very important direction if we are aware of the fact that despite the importance of supporting vocabulary growth in the early childhood period, especially for children with risk factors such as poverty, language delay etc., intentional vocabulary instruction is missing from a lot of school curricula. Educational support with rich vocabulary exposure has been shown to be one of the most effective means for enhancing word learning in young children. In addition, as these children begin to master second language they will have better and more solid starting ground in second language (English) classrooms to promote vocabulary acquisition.
