Abstract
This study investigated the affect of home environment towards students’ English learning achievement at one university in North Sulawesi. Three variables were included parents’ education background, parents’ occupation, and parents’ income. The population was the students from second semester who enrolled in General English II. The instruments were used in data collections. They were information about parents’ socioeconomic status, English final grade of the students, and information about the family condition. The results showed that negative correlation, only mothers’ occupation had positive correlation towards students’ English learning achievement. These findings were extensively discussed and appropriate recommendations were made.
