Abstract

This study aims to analyze access to English language education resources for children from families with low socioeconomic backgrounds and the role of culturally based ethno-parenting in supporting their learning. Participants consisted of six parents and six elementary school-aged children in Mataram. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and questionnaires, and were then analyzed thematically with source triangulation to maintain validity. The results indicate that the primary obstacle faced by parents is economic constraints, which result in a lack of English learning facilities, including books, courses, and technological devices. Although almost all families own mobile phones, they are primarily used for entertainment rather than for educational purposes. From an ethno-parenting perspective, parents continue to instill local cultural values ​​such as politeness, cooperation, and respect for elders. This, in some cases, supports motivation to learn English, but in other cases, it actually creates resistance because it is perceived as displacing the role of regional languages.
