The individual variables that were selected for the study were, "students" attitudes towards English language" and "students" attitude towards English-speaking peers". Whereas, the social variables that were selected were; "parental encouragement and support", "availability and length of time spent on English language materials at home", "claimed use of English with peers" and ''frequency of English language spoken at home". All these variables were measured by means of a series of statements to which subjects were asked to respond on five-point scales. English language attainment was based on subjects' achievement in English language in PMR 2004. In some cases, the correlations were contrary to the direction that one might expect. The results show that "frequency of English language used at home", "the length of time spent on English language materials at home", and "claimed use of English language with peers" correlate with English language achievement in PMR 2004. 2006 Thesis https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/10294/ https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/10294/1/mt0000000550.pdf text en public masters Universiti Malaysia Sabah School of Education and Social Development
