    This research synthesis was conducted to determine the effects of learners’ personal factors (motivation, student’s personality, identity, and family relationships) on English language academic performance. Twenty empirical studies were analyzed to answer the research questions. The criteria used to select the articles comprised 1) digital articles written in English or Spanish, 2) qualitative, quantitative, or mixed research approaches, 3) articles focusing on the impact of motivation, students’ personality, identity, and family relationships on academic performance, and 4) articles published in the last seven years. For data analysis, the articles were categorized according to each personal factor. The results highlighted how different personal variables influence English learning academic performance, either positively or negatively. The findings also showed that motivation, student personality, identity, and family relationships are interrelated. Finally, future research should explore how family relationships impact students’ academic performance when learning a second language since there is a lack of research focusing on this variable.
