DETERMINING FACTORS FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN ENGLISH AMONG CHILDREN IN THE URBAN AREA

English language is one of the most important attributes among children because it serves as a means of communication among people from different urban area. The study determined the factors for effective communication in English among children in the urban area. The study identified Socioeconomic Status, Parental Involvement, Educational Quality Peer Interaction, and Exposure to Media, Multilingual Environment, Extracurricular Activities, Health and Well-being etc. to be the factors for effective communication in English among children in the urban area. The study showed that socio-economic status can significantly impact access to quality education and resources, thus influencing English proficiency levels among children. Parental involvement, including parental attitudes towards English language learning and the level of support provided at home, plays a crucial role in shaping children's language development. Additionally, the availability of educational resources, such as qualified teachers, textbooks, and language-learning materials, greatly impacts the acquisition of English skills. On this basis it was concluded that effective communication in English among urban children is influenced by socio-economic background, educational resources, parental involvement, peer interactions, and cultural context. These factors interact dynamically, shaping language acquisition and proficiency levels. One of the recommendations made was that ensure children are exposed to English language inputs from various sources such as books, television shows, movies, and interactive educational materials. Encourage bilingualism if applicable, as it can enhance cognitive flexibility.
