Parental involvement plays a substantial role in developing studentĄŻs English writing competence as long as parents are fully aware of skills of parental involvement. The present study constructs the model of parental involvement in terms of helping studentsĄŻ English writing at Junior Middle School by qualitative interviews and documentation based on BrownĄŻs parental formula in Chinese English learning context. Physical capital, together social capital and human capital will predict studentsĄŻ English writing competence. The model demonstrates what may be included in Chinese parentsĄŻ physical capital, social capital and human capital in detail. However, the model is constructed from the perspectives of English writing in Chinese culture, hence it might be a good hint for parental involvement in Asian context. %U http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ach/article/view/0/38434
