Abstract:

Any conference or round-table discussion aims to elicit a student's language behaviour. These activities are needed both by teachers and students to know how well somebody else uses foreign languages in free speaking activities and how much a student needs to master his own speaking abilities. Moreover, extracurricular activities aim to answer why they learn foreign languages. From the first-year students to postgraduates with more academic and professional ambitious there is one thing they have in common – through learning foreign languages they hope to achieve a goal to improve futur

Abstract:

A growing amount of research finds that the accumulation of, investment in, and mobilization of certain cultural resources are significant predictors of children's advantageous social development in both institutional settings and interpersonal relationships. Several theories and empirical analyses illustrate the importance of children's leisure-time activities in the accumulation of valuable resources. These cultural resources confer advantages to children, especially in educational settings (e.g. teachers' perception of students, intellectual development, and academic outcomes) because these

This study is the first territory-wide research into the quality management issues of extracurricular activities (ECA) involving the whole population of the frontline ECA masters/mistresses in Hong Kong secondary schools.

The two case studies involved an investigation into a unique Hong Kong secondary school using an extension curriculum to replace traditional ECA, and a study into the only school in Hong Kong adopting the ISO9002 quality assurance system in school management.

<p> Extracurricular activities have been an important part of adolescents’ lives for generations (Kremer-Sadlik, Izquierdo, & Fatigante, 2010).

With the recent recession in the United States, many school districts are having to find ways to cut budgets and are looking at eliminating extracurricular activities to save money (Lamb, 2011).

Abstract:

At school, students are provided numerous opportunities to use their skills and abilities to complete tasks or solve problems. Students are considered to have academic success when they meet specific criteria on outcomes such as grade point averages (GPA), scores on standardized tests, and skill acquisition across areas like reading and math. Given the importance of academic achievement (AA) as an outcome measure, researchers have attempted to study certain variables that may relate to or predict AA. Extracurricular activities (EAs) are defined as school-sanctioned activities that students can
