Also, students with higher English scores feel that E-learning environment is similar to that of school life. The variables such as ‘time used on private tutoring’, ‘time used on self-directed learning’, ‘anxiety on grade’, ‘interest in learning’ have positive correlation with academic achievement of the English subject. On the other hand, the variables such as ‘sense of belonging to the school’, ‘communication with the teachers regarding career plan’, ‘hangout time with friends’, ‘the amount of home work’, ‘the amount of study’, ‘communication with teachers regarding academic matters’, ‘life style on regular base’ have negative correlation with the academic achievement of the English subject.
