Abstract


This research focuses on a student of English Language Education, DI, and looks at the benefits and motivations of extracurricular activities for learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The researcher used a narrative method to explore DI's experiences and perspectives, showing how extracurricular activities like English clubs, debates, and student exchange programs helped improve his language skills and learning. These activities allowed DI to practice English and interact with different cultures in real life. DI's motivation came from both her interest in learning English and the rewards he received for participating. This study highlights how important extracurricular activities are in supporting EFL learning strategies.
