The study explores how students' variable experience with English learning beyond the classroom influences language learning in primary EFL classrooms as parents’ sociocultural values and attitudes toward English, investment in English education inside and outside of school, and economic status interplay with EFL learners’ language experience. To understand how children are educated in the EFL classroom in relation to macro-micro linkages (Garrett 2008), language socialization allows this study to make a contribution to the current literature on primary EFL studies. The participants have had rich language learning experience beyond the school setting. The gap between the advanced learner and the beginner exists even in a relatively equal socioeconomic setting. The local educational context reveals that the macro level does not meet the educational needs at the micro level no matter how much teachers try to provide learning opportunities at the appropriate levels.
