The Role of Extra Class Activities in Improving Language Skills

Language learning would be more effective provided that there are favourable learning conditions. Due to this fact, classroom learning should be supplemented by appropriate and reasonably sufficient practices outside the classroom. In addition to this , in the process of foreign and or second language learning, it would not be logical to hold the notion that language learning which is confined to the classroom alone can equip learners with the necessary knowledge and skills. Hence, students should get chances to practice the language they learn in the classroom outside of it. Here, extra class activities may provide such a context and create favourable conditions which would offer learners opportunities to use the target language for real life communicative purposes. In this regard, dramatic activities, role play, simulation, group discussions, dialogues, debating, broadcasting and others may make language learning more real life among students.
