Abstract EN

English extra-curricular activities constitute an important part of students' learning.

This study aims to discover some of the effects of ECAs on students' language learning, the challenges that face teachers in implementing these activities and some possible solutions for these challenges.

A quantitative analysis method using a questionnaire was administered in order to answer the research questions.

A sample of 64 teachers responded to the survey.

In general, the results showed that English ECAs have positive effects on students' language learning.

Results also showed that there were some challenges in implementing ECAs.

Teachers also mostly agreed on the suggested solutions proposed in this study to overcome some of the challenges.

This study provides some information that both teachers and policy makers may benefit from to improve the quality of English ECAs in secondary schools.
