The Socio-Educational Matrix: Deconstructing Environmental and Economical Predictors of L2 Literacy Achievement in Rural Rajasthan

Author(s) Chandra Shekhar Mishra
Country India
Abstract This study examines how environmental, domestic, and economic factors shape English as a Second Language (L2) literacy outcomes among students in the Bharatpur district of Eastern Rajasthan. Drawing on the theoretical perspectives of John Schumann, Pierre Bourdieu, and Ellen Bialystok, the research explores the influence of family background on language achievement. A sample of 300 students from six Government Senior Secondary Schools in Rarah, Sewar, Chiksana, Bacchamadi, Peepla, and Jhagina was assessed using socio-educational surveys, parental literacy scales, income indicators, and literacy achievement tests. Three null hypotheses were formulated to examine the effects of household income, parental education, and regional location on language proficiency.
The findings reject all three null hypotheses and reveal that household income and parental education are strong predictors of L2 literacy performance. Students from low-income and first-generation literate families face significant barriers due to limited learning resources and higher language anxiety. Regional location, however, showed little impact once socioeconomic factors were controlled, as both rural and urban schools largely depend on similar teacher-centered translation methods. The study recommends the development of school-based reading resources and remedial literacy programmes to support economically disadvantaged learners and promote sustainable language development.
