The purpose of this work is to identify and determinate the influence of educational (teacher´s methodology, or style), psychological (students` attitude, and environment influence), and social factors (social-family problems) on the teachinglearning process in students of seventh grade, English class of a high school of Rivas city.ududWhen we think of second language development as a teaching-learning process, we need to remember that different students have different learning styles, that intrinsic motivation aids learning, and that the quality of classroom interaction matters a great deal.ududStudents come from diverse backgrounds and have diverse needs and goals.ududWith adolescent language learners, factors such as peer pressure, the presence of role models, and the level of home support can strongly affect the desire and ability to learn a little of English in the high school.ududMaximizing the learning results of our English students, certain issues have often focused on issues including language teaching, learning theories, teaching materials, teaching approaches and methodologies, syllabus design, etc.ududLittle research has been directed to the topic of how the local educational/teaching environment has influenced students’ learning when the students are not Englishudmajors, but studying English as non-majors due to educational requirements and professional needs.ududThis fact may at least lead to the result that local English learning problems remain unsolved for long periods of time.ududThis paper looks into some causes that may have greatly hindered the effect of English learning for students in Rivas, since the role of English in the education systems is very important.ududThe quality of education is directly related to the quality of instruction in the classrooms. It is a fact that the academic qualifications, knowledge of the subject matter, competence, and skills of teaching and the commitment of the teacher have effective impact on the teaching-learning process.ududQuality improvement in education depends upon proper training of teachers.ududThe teachers cannot play any of the roles unless properly trained (Yadved and Singh, 1988).ududSchool environment, teacher qualifications, curriculum and instructional approaches, and many other factors interactudto produce growth in student academic skills and knowledge
