The article “Home Literacy Environment and English as A Second Language Acquisition: A Meta-analysis” by Yang Dong and Bonnie Wing-Yin Chow analyzes 18 studies (2000-2018) with 4401 children to explore how home literacy environments (HLE) affect English as a second language (ESL) learning. It finds that parental literacy teaching behaviours, like shared reading, have a more significant impact on ESL performance than parental beliefs or available learning resources. The study highlights the crucial role of family engagement in enhancing ESL development and suggests educational strategies should focus on increasing parental involvement in literacy activities.
