Mottahareh Natanzi

This study aimed to design and validate a Persian cultural capital scale (CCS) with Iranian university students majoring in English language, literature and translation as well teaching English as a foreign language. To this end, twenty more cultural capital indicators specified by researchers were added to eleven compiled by Khodadady and Zabihi (2011) and administered to 381 English students of five universities in Mashhad, Iran. When the data were submitted to Principal Axis Factoring and rotated via Varimax with Kaiser Normalization eight rotated factors whose Eigenvalues were one or higher were extracted, i.e., Cultured Family, Cultural Commitment, Cultural Investment, Religious Commitment, Cultural Visits, Literary and Art Studies, Art Appreciation, and Literate Family, indicating that cultural capital is not a unitary construct. The reliability and correlation analysis of the CCS and its underlying factors showed that they enjoy acceptable levels of reliability and correlate significantly with each other. The results are discussed and suggestions are made for future research.

This study explored the relationship between social and cultural capitals and English achievement by developing, administering and validating a 35-item questionnaire to 706 students of five public and private high school students in Mashhad, Iran. The application of the Principle Axis Factoring to the participants' responses and rotating the extracted factors revealed ten latent variables, i.e., family-school interaction, facility consciousness, extracurricular and religious activities, parental consultation, literary and artistic appreciation, family support, family-peer relation, reading enjoyment, family encouragement, and self-confidence. No significant difference was found in the performance of private and public school students' scores on their final English examination. Neither the social and cultural capital questionnaire nor its ten extracted factors showed any significant relationship with the students' English achievement. However, when the performance of the students in private and public schools were analyzed separately and the items with low cross loading were removed from factors, a significant correlation was found between the second factor, i.e., facility consciousnesses, and the English achievement (r =.12, p <.05) of public high school students. The implications of the results are brought up within a foreign language context and suggestions are made for future research.
