Action Research Project Donyalla Manns Research Paper

Clearly, if there is motivation from the parents to encourage English literacy, whether that be to help them or simply to focus the student on succeeding and graduating, studies see a 30-40% increase in scores in individuals in which the parents are actively involved in the ESL class. Thus, there are a number of proven successes that are available to help increase the efficacy of English instruction in the secondary schools. As well, from a practical point-of-view, increased English literacy in the broad context can only encourage.

This study examines one particularly learning environment, Yokota West Elementary School, and will use a mixed-method questionnaire to examine various ways in which ESL learners can achieve greater performance actualization and success within their environment. Data showed that there is a clear need within the educational community. The English as a Second Language program data supports the need for the school to improve in reading and writing. The Literacy Support Service program indicates a specific need to support students in the classroom in the areas of reading and writing. Stakeholders are committed to ensuring this happens and, based on the data, motivated to robustly move forward.

The support of parents and the community has not been felt thus, this action research proposal calls for both parents to be actively involved in students education process as it plays a critical role in enhancing success
