 INTRODUCTION

“Extracurricular activities are usually described as activities that are not belong to
academic curriculum but are offered by an academic institution.” This research will be
focused on knowing the effects of extracurricular activities in building camaraderie
among the students. Extracurricular activities are to be done in class or out of school
based on the demands and convenience of extracurricular activities. Extracurricular
activities are unique from unorganized and unsupervised public activities such as
interacting or enjoying activities with friends. Instead, they are structured structurally
and contain supervision by teachers and under careful supervision, extracurricular
activities could focus on group, interaction, management, and other public skill-building
and beneficial growth for the members. The supervision of extra-curricular activities
enforces positive development for adolescents because it provides guidance for the
students with supervised extracurricular activities, students are guided towards
appropriate behaviors and activities while being challenged to help develop
competencies and confidence.
Human beings learn many things by doing or experiencing. Students who excel
in extracurricular activities may improve themselves for real situations. Students
sometimes cannot find opportunity to be open with teachers at college. And, language
teachers know that participation of lessons is the key factor for better learning. Thus,
students get disciplined and act well in real situations by joining extracurricular activities.
There are different opinions of what is considered an extra-curricular activity. A few
examples of activities outside the school day may include pro-social activities such as
dances, team sports, and performing arts, while in-school involvement activities may
include intramurals, and academic clubs. Different levels of activity involvement and
participation may positively impact future success for those who participate. Research
also indicated that both the type of extracurricular programs and level of participation
may impact the individuals' development.
Participation in an extra curricular activities, facilitates students to achieve better
academic performance through acquiring life skills and attitudes. Participation helps
students to acquire organizational, planning and time-management skills. It also helps
students to develop attitudes such as discipline and motivation; and to receive social
rewards which influence personality characteristics. It enhances students’ self-concept,
which in turn mediates positive effects on other academic outcomes. It also promotes
personal initiatives such as setting personal goals, evaluating what is needed to attain
goals, and then actively acquiring the abilities and resources to achieve goals.
