Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the levels of each type of parental involvement in children’s English language learning and the types of involvement in which parents were most and least involved with respect to their children’s English language learning. The study was conducted with 54 state enterprise employees in Nonthaburi province who had children studying at the primary school level. Purposive sampling was utilized in conducting the survey. The research instrument employed for this study was a questionnaire consisting of a five-point Likert scale of types and levels of parental involvement relating to Epstein’s six types of parental involvement framework as well as open-ended questions. The data were analyzed statistically by using frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The research findings indicated that the respondents were mostly involved in their children’s English language learning in “Parenting” type (mean score = 3.91) followed by “Learning at Home” type (mean score = 3.45). Both types of involvement were rated at a high level of involvement. The other types were “Cooperation with School” (mean score = 2.69) and “Other Support” (mean score = 2.56), which could be regarded at moderate and low level of parents’ involvement, followed by the type of “Collaborating with community” (mean score = 2.22) and could be rated at a low level of involvement. The type in which the respondents were least involved in their children’s English language learning was “Volunteering” type (mean score = 1.77), which was rated at a very low level of parental involvement. This study will benefit parents and teachers in developing the collaboration between home and school
