academic performance. Such as social, economic and cultural factors (language, cus-
toms, etc.), self-esteem, and school environment. In addition, it is considered that
the higher the educational level of one of the parents, especially mothers, the better
children’s academic performance. Since they are the ones who spend the most time
supporting and monitoring their children’s homework. However, despite the fact
that 72% are women, it has been found that other factors do not allow performance
to improve. Among other things, 58% of parents do not know the English language,
20% speak quechua at home, and only 15% follow up with the students in their school
activities at all times, while 85% do so sporadically. There is no evidence of the impro-
vement proposed by Modelo and Morente et al.
In agreement with Modelo (2012), when talking about support and follow-up,
Watson et al. (2016) state that parents’ direct or indirect participation in their chil-
mother’s level education increases, the number of low grades decreases (Escarbajal,
Sánchez, & Guirao 2015). In addition, Matute et al. (2009), make reference to the
fact that certain parents despite not having a high educational level, encourage their
children to have a good academic performance, getting directly involved with teachers
and the school. However, in the institution, when talking about support, monitoring,
and control of homework, as well as the involvement of parents in activities with tea-
chers, there is no collaboration greater than 25% of parents who review, support and,
follow up on their children.
In this regard, Avila & Garavito (2009), argue that parents’ active participation in
their children’s homework in the subject of English. It provides an opportunity to create
an optimal environment for positive learning. In addition, to building trust and streng-
thening family ties, parents become more involved in schoolwork, creating an assertive
dedicated to children in school activities at home is barely between 15 and 30 minutes.
This hinders not only parent-child interaction but also homework follow-up. In this sense,
perform homework, the results are better.

tioned above, agree that parents’ active participation is not only based on collaborating
with teacher, but also on the support and follow-up of homework as well as active parti-
cipation in school activities programmed by the educative center. Considering that many
parents avoid this responsibility, arguing that they have little time to participate, maybe
their workload does not coincide with the school schedule, or they have little educatio-
nal training, among others. That said, the above, parents’ participation from the educative
monitoring of homework and school activities related to the English language remains
the same. Among many other things, parents argue that they have no knowledge of the
language, while others approve of the teaching of the language, but do not know how to
support the students, and even worse, the teachers.
-
vate the situation of the English language academic performance in the high school, since
89% have ethnic self-determination of indigenous, and 20% still retain their mother tongue
as the main language of integration at home. While Bazán et al. (2014), argue that these
inconveniences hinder the quality of support and follow-up that parents can give in the
-
gual students (spanish-quechua), despite belonging to an urban area. This phenomenon
is comparable by Tinkler (2002 cited by Bazán et al
u. s. and the low level of support in Latino families.
