Abstract


This experimental study aims to explore the values of English-related Extracurricular Activities (ECAs) programs. It attempted to examine the management of 130 Beninese intermediate EFL learners' anxiety and the development of their language skills through their participation in English Language Clubs. The outcomes have revealed that by participating, for a period of six months, in English Language Clubs.
those learners who have never been exposed before to such programs and were randomly recruited from four public secondary schools of Benin, have developed both self-confidence and oral communication abilities. Based on those outcomes, this study addressed the value of ECAs' instructional programs to the teaching of English as a foreign language and recommended the necessity for policies to foster the use of English Language Clubs to developing speaking ability among EFL learners.
