Özet
The first five years of a child's life are very important in terms of social and language
development. Therefore, foreign language learning at an early age has become
widespread in many countries around the world, including our country. While English
education starts in the second grade in public schools in our country, it starts in
kindergartens in private schools. However, the environment is as important as starting
language education at an early age. Parents are the first to create this environment. The
purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which parents participate in their
children's language education. The study was carried out in 3 schools in Tarsus. The
questionnaire was applied to the parents of preschool and primary school 1-2. grade
students on a voluntary basis. The data obtained were analyzed with the SPSS program
and it was concluded in a concrete way whether the demographic characteristics of the
parents had an effect on their participation in English education. Afterwards, interviews
were conducted with the parents. These interviews were recorded after a short briefing.
The themes that emerged from the interview transcript were analyzed and read one by
one and codes were extracted from them. Re-read and citations extracted, categorized
and commented on to support the themes.
