Involvement in Extracurricular Activities and Overcoming High Levels of Communication Apprehension among Saudi EFL Majors

This study attempted to examine the relationship between participation in extracurricular activities and levels of Communication Apprehension (CA) among English as a foreign language (EFL) students and explore the students’ perspectives of how extracurricular activities affect their communication skills. The study addressed the following two questions: a) what is the relationship between EFL students’ involvement in extracurricular activities and their level of Communication Apprehension?, b) What are the EFL students’ perspectives regarding the effect of extracurricular activities on their communication skills?. The participants were 40 EFL students among 80 who participated in extracurricular activities at the College of Languages and Translation at Imam Mohammed bin Saud Islamic University in Riyadh. The participants were asked to complete a Personal Report of Communication Apprehension (PRCA-24) to examine their levels of CA as well as a questionnaire about their attitudes toward extracurricular activities. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 8 participants to explore their perspectives in depth. The findings showed that most participants had moderate levels of CA and that 100% of the participants agreed that participation in extracurricular activities helped them reduce CA and improve their communication skills. The study also showed that extracurricular activities were more helpful than classroom activities in improving communication skills. This study is significant in that it shed the light on the importance of involvement in extracurricular activities and their role in improving EFL students’ communication skills and lowering CA levels. Thus, it is recommended to encourage EFL students to participate in extracurricular activities and consider including such activities in course requirements and teaching materials.

Environmental paths that inform adolescent substance use prevention

ABSTRACTPromoting healthy development among youth is one of the grand challenges taken on by social work. Because substance use can negatively affect the health and development of adolescents, this study examined environmental factors affecting substance use among adolescents ages 12 through 17 by gender using data from 17,736 adolescents in the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. It was hypothesized that environmental inputs such as parenting, involvement in extracurricular activities, and school engagement are associated with substance use differently based on gender. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesis. This model explained 13% of the variance for males and 19% for females. Positive parenting, participation in extracurricular activities, and school engagement were associated with substance use. Results showed the effect of extracurricular activities on substance use was larger for female adolescents than for male adolescents, and that gender moderated the indirect effect of parenting on substance use. Parenting, involvement in extracurricular activities, and school engagement are important areas for preventing adolescent substance use in the spirit of promoting their health, and the effect of prevention efforts in these areas can depend on the adolescent’s gender.

Investigating the relationship among extracurricular activities, learning approach and academic outcomes: A case study

Learning effectiveness requires an understanding of the relationship among extracurricular activities, learning approach and academic performance and, it is argued, this helps educators develop techniques designed to enrich learning effectiveness. Biggs’ Presage–Process–Product model on student learning has identified the relationship among individual difference, learning approaches and academic achievement in higher education. Studies have typically revealed that the deep approach is positively associated with academic achievement. It is argued that extracurricular activities enhance students’ confidence in their ability which in turn encourages deep learning. Comparatively little is known about such relationship. The main aims of this study are to examine the effect of the learning approach on academic outcomes and the effect of extracurricular activities on the learning approach and academic outcomes. A total of 131 full-time students participated in this research using Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire to examine the fit of the variables to hypothesised model. The results indicate a positive relationship between deep approach and academic outcomes. Students with active involvement in extracurricular activities are more likely to use the deep approach.

The Cultural Production and Reproduction of Gender: The Effect of Extracurricular Activities on Peer-Group Culture

Considerable attention has been given to the cultural reproduction of social-class differences in educational settings, but much less attention has been given to the processes by which gender differences are produced and reproduced. The few studies that have examined gender socialization in schools have focused primarily on the role of textbooks and formal instruction in the promotion of traditional gender roles. Since most middle schools and high schools also sponsor extracurricular activities, it is important to determine the role these activities play in the promotion of gender differences in values and behavior. In this paper, we examine the effect of athletic-related activities on the peer-group culture of students at a predominantly working-class middle school. We find that certain extracurricular activities influence the predominant male and female cultures of early adolescents. Since male athletic events are the main social events of the school, both male athletes and female cheerleaders have considerable visibility and are likely to be members of the elite group. Males and females are exposed to very different values through these activities. Male athletes are encouraged to be achievement-oriented and competitive, and cheerleaders are reminded of the importance of appearance and emotion management. These values are incorporated into the informal peer culture of the school, where they are further refined and applied to specific situations and behaviors.
