Abstract
With more out-of-school second language learning opportunities, youths are increasingly experiencing Extramural English which is defined as any type of contact that young people have with English outside the walls of the classroom. Several research studies have reported that Extramural English is positively linked with improved speaking performance. In this talk, I will use empirical evidence to discuss the characteristics, predictors, and benefits of Extramural English. I will also discuss how teachers can integrate it into formal practice.
