Age and Parental Role: Social Factors Involved in the English Language Learning in Pashtun Society
Abstract
This study presents an investigation carried out with learners enrolled in English language courses from the National University of Modern Languages, Peshawar (NUML). The study is based on the qualitative pattern. The primary purpose of the study is to discover two social factors that affect the English language learning process in Pashtun society and to find out Pashtun learners' personal interest in the English language. The researchers analyzed and interpreted the collected data from the participants, and data was collected through a questionnaire based on the Attitude/Motivation Test Battery by Gardner (2004). Through this study, factors such as parental role and age have been proven to be central in the language learning process of Pashtun learners.
