This study aims to examine the impact of language-oriented extra-curricular activities (ECAs) on the productive language skills (speaking and writing) and attitudes towards English of 7th grade students in a public middle school in Ankara. The study employed a true experimental design with four groups, following Solomon’s model. The study involved 80 randomly assigned students who participated in a range of language-oriented ECAs developed and implemented by the researcher. Quantitative data are gathered through readiness tests, pre- and post -achievement tests and attitude scales. Mann-Whitney U Test and Wilcoxon Signed -Rank Tests were used to analyze quantitative data. The results demonstrate that participation in language-oriented ECAs significantly enhances students' productive language skills and fosters positive attitudes towards English. The study has indicated that ECAs not only positively influence language skills but also improve students' attitudes toward English lessons. These findings contribute to a growing body of research supporting the effectiveness of ECAs in language education and provide valuable insights for future research and practice.
