| Abstract | With a focus on the improvement of English language skills, some degree of extra exposure to authentic practice beyond the formal classroom setting is considered supportive to the realization of such a goal. Out-of-class English language learning activities lend themselves as a means by which we can exploit the benefits of engaging in motivating activities and improving the English language skills. This article aims to promote the use of out-of-class English language learning to yield language learners more opportunities to practice authentic language usage in natural situations. The emphasis is on identifying the advantages of out-of-class English language learning activities, the development of learning autonomy, and the interrelationship between motivation in learning the English language and the engagement in the out-of-class English language learning activities. Recommendations for how academic institutions can adopt this strategy in their environment have also been made in order to maximize language learning achievements. |
