AB - This study was an investigation into how students perceive their parental support to their studies, and what effect this support may have on their classroom achievement, specifically among Korean middle school students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Two research questions were addressed: (1) How do these students perceive their parental involvement and support for their autonomy, based on the results of the Perceptions of Parents Scale (POPS) questionnaire? (2) What is the correlation between results of the POPS and these students' classroom achievement in English? The POPS questionnaire was administered to a total of 167 students, ages 13 to 16, studying EFL at two middle schools in Seoul, Korea. A quantitative analysis was performed on the data collected and findings indicated that students' perceptions of parental support were at a moderate to high level, however the correlation of this support with their classroom achievement was at a very low positive level. In the case of one factor, fathers' autonomy support, a negative correlation with achievement was indicated. The study concluded with a discussion of limitations and pedagogical implications.
