This research paper is an exploration of the effect of family companionship on learning English language based on how a family member, parents, support the learner, in terms of encouragement, access to resources, emotional and social support, and hence motivation to the learner to acquire the language. Based on studied literature on motivation, self-determination theory, and family involvement in education, the paper will discuss how family members can contribute to the learning process by establishing a warm climate, supplying a set of resources, and reinforcing emotionally. Although the research indicates the importance of family role in the motivation of the learners and in establishing the ideal background of learning, it emphasizes a broader implication in terms of the overall concept of factors, which help learners acquire the language. The purpose of this study is to offer some insights that could be used in educational practice and approach to engaging the family in the teaching of the English language, which eventually increases the proficiency of learners and their overall degree of academic achievement.
