The implementation of a support website for parents with children at the NEPBE in México

Abstract

In this research work I present some of the constant issues that English Language teachers in basic education face year after year – those of students not doing their homework and parents not efficiently helping to reinforce the English lessons at home. As we know, there are multiple reasons why most parents and children are not able to properly express their school needs to each other; and even more, for both to be able to communicate them to the teacher in a way to get the expected results after trying to learn a new language, leaving everyone half-content: children with no interest of learning anything else than what it is required from them, parents with no will to motivate their children to get better grades in their English lessons and teachers who start to see their practice as a frustrating and lethargic process. I will strive to demonstrate in this thesis that the more we help parents to understand, in a simple way, exactly what teachers need and require from them and their children, the more these parents will encourage their children during their process to acquire a new language and the more their children will enjoy doing their homework activities.
