Abstract


Learning participation is the key to students' success in learning. By observing the learning process and efficiency, the actual learning situation can be revealed to provide a strong basis for education supervision. As globalization accelerates, mastering a foreign language is essential for personal development. Taking English learning as an example, it is found that there is drowsiness in early learning, and students' participation is generally not high. In order to deeply understand the students 'participation in English learning, this study analyzes the students' cognitive, behavioral and emotional dimensions of learning from the perspective of learning objects and participation. NSSE and SEM showed a significant positive correlation between family support and learning behavior. Family learning environment, parental attention and support, as well as family learning counseling and communication, all positively influence students' learning behavior. Furthermore, a supportive family environment helps to stimulate students' English-learning motivation and positive attitudes. Family background plays an important role in students' English learning behavior, cognitive and emotional participation. In the future educational practice, we should pay more attention to family factors, strengthen home-school cooperation, and jointly promote the all-round development of students. By optimizing the family learning environment and providing emotional support, students can effectively enhance their participation in English learning and lay a solid foundation for their future development.
