Abstract

The present research study was focused on investigating the social and academic factors related to the academic performance of students of the University of El Salvador. The variables under consideration were the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) obtained through the academic performance as a dependent variable; and the extracurricular academic experiences, number of registered subjects, and factors such as gender, age, marital status, and economic status as independent variables. The data was collected through a survey from students who were in the 5 th year of the Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages with Specialization in French and English, (BA. in ML). The findings of this research have shown which factors, marital status, work, study time and others, mentioned before impacted more students’ performances which may help future generations of higher education to understand these factors and to use them to improve their academic performance, noticed through the Cumulative GPA.
