Parental pressure has long been known to have a multi-faceted impact on the academics of children under the age of 18. Nevertheless, it also highly influences the level of motivation of adolescents, creating a complex picture between these three factors. In this particular study, the interplay between parental pressure, children's self-motivation, and a specific field of academic performance – English proficiency – would be assessed. There were 76 children and their respective parents who entered the study. While adolescents would have both their English proficiency and self-motivation evaluated, their parents would answer a survey aiming at understanding the level of expectation they have towards their offspring. Data is tested for reliability, normality, and homoscedasticity before regression analyses take place in order to explore a potential correlation between these highly complex factors. By understanding the sophisticated interactions between parental pressure, children's self-motivation, and their English proficiency levels, the study can answer whether the pressure applied by parents is beneficial for children’s motivation as well as their academic performance in language learning. This study is highly novel in the realm of education in Vietnam, where psychological impacts are often under-studied.
