| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine if the student perceptions of parental expectations, utility value and aptitude accounted for a significant part of the variance in determining academic achievement in English. This study investigated the degree to which these variables predicted the English achievement of Asian American high school students. A sample of 123 Asian American high school students enrolled in regular English classes participated in surveying their perceived parental expectations, utility value, and demographical data. The majority of the participants were from second-generation. The results of the analysis of correlations found a significant relationship between the student perceptions of parental expectations and utility value. This study found that the younger students held stronger utility value of English than their older peers. According to the results of the multiple regression analysis, aptitude measured with California Standardized Tests (CST) was a significant predictor of the English achievement of this population. The student perceptions of parental expectations and utility were not a significantly related to the English achievement of Asian American high school students. |
