Abstract
"This thesis reports on the effects of working with parents in parental workshops as a strategy to help EFL students in primary classrooms to improve their children’s English learning process. The study was carried out at a suburban primary school in Puebla and for a period about a school-year. Research data were collected by using one instrument, which it was a questionnaire applied to participants (children’s parents). The research findings reveal that before taking the parental workshops, the majority of the participants do not support their children actively or as a minority express they were doing few actions. Research data also indicate that after taking the parental workshops, there were an increase in participation, in order to work collaboratively with the teacher and support their children outside the classroom. Different kind of actions were perform by participants. This study is also an example of evidence in parental involvement in students of sixth grade of elementary school and also demonstrates that it will be useful for further research."
