Lecture-11 Organizing and implementing optional course and extracurricular activities in teaching foreign languages

Extracurricular activities should realize goals and tasks that cannot be realized within regular lessons. One should aim towards offering activities that are in tune with current events, and thus contribute to the broadening of the pupils' horizons. In this manner, a possibility is opened for extracurricular activities to become a valuable and important area for nurturing and fostering a learner's positive qualities, and for stimulating and developing individual abilities and the corresponding skills. With the introduction of extracurricular activities into schools, new opportunities for the additional involvement of young people are opened, as is the opportunity for their versatile development and education. Contemporary strategies organize students' activities in a freer fashion, according to their interests and affinities, in order for them to expand and deepen the knowledge they have acquired by connecting theory and practice, and to deepen their need for cultural events in their leisure time.
