3. Some pictures are illustrated for this even 4. Finding and evaluation 4.1. Achieved result I have applied this research for several years to teach and instruct my students and my colleagues. I have found that outdoor activities have made them more interested. After holdning any outdoor activities, I have gained many useful experience and some lessons have been learnt. My students have opportunities to get to know themselves and their environment through their senses. They inprove their speaking’s skill for sharing their knowledge, expressing their feelings and making their own decisions without asking for help, which make them more successful in their lives. In comparison to the survey I have conducted before applying outdoor activities, the result changed acoording to the progressive direction, they have regularly used English to each other and they have been more confident in English speaking hours and I also realized clearly the efficiency of some students who have active learning awareness. I am very pleased to see that the number of students who like learning English increased significantly and I will show the results as follows
4. Statements Like very much like Like a little Donot like Frequency 30 25 40 5 Percentage 30 25 40 5 Statements Very interesting Interesting Boring Frequency 50 40 10 Percentage 50 40 10 This result indicates that the measures which I have carried out improve the efficiency of teaching for students. After the outside classes, my students always feel relaxed and look forward to another activity. Weak students are no longer under pressure when they discuss something in English. My students are not only able to speak English more confidently but also feel excited to take part in exploring the problems and challenges in real- world. 4.2. Recommendation After analyzing some outdoor activities with the aim of enhancing the speaking ability among students, various should be given as follows - Every teacher should apply suitable outdoor activities and carry out outdoor activities frequently so that the students have more opportunities to practice English speaking skill as a daily routine. Day by day, they can communicate more and more fluently and naturally. - Students should be taught the skills to learn speaking from lower classes so that they will have a certain skill when they come to higher grades - Try to involve each student in every speaking activity. They will no longer to meet the psychological fear of exercises or test of speaking. - Reduce teacher speaking time while increasing students speaking time. - Indicate positive signs when commenting on a students’ response. III. CONCLUSION The aim of the present study is to investigate upper secondary school students’ experience anf perception of regular outdoor learning. I want to emphasize that the results from this research originate from a small school in mountainnous area, but I do hope that the findings make a great contribution to our knowledge about students’ experiences of outdoor learning. My students perceived several potential advantages but reflected also on challenges from using this learning environment. By solving problems and working together in small groups, my students were enabled to discuss and exchange ideas which they found important in their learning. Most of my students expressed a solid perceptions of outdoor activities as a positive and enjoyable learning environment. Outdoor learning, I think, need to be organized so students feel motivated and know what to do. Using outdoor activities seems to be a promising way of varying every day
5. school practice and to increase students’ motivation for learning. However, teachers need appropriate training in applying outdoor activities which is often lacking in pre- service teacher training. Once again, I would like to emphasize that the students who try to use English outside classroom, for sure, do the most improvement. Obviously, motivation is the key here and I also believe that outdoor activities is an important tool for more English exposure. My thoughts about “ Causing interested in learning” is just the experience drawn from the old and new methods of teaching in practice. May be lacking but that’s personal fators. I wish all level and branches are more interested in this subject. Create a good environment to help students in learning English especially the students in mountainous area, they will have chances to study and get new knowledge. Beside this I also wish the Principal is really interested in the facilities of the school to serve better for the studying of the students. Creating more outdoor activities so that they have good chances to study better and get higher knowledge with important subject. However, above are the measures that I have applied only at my school. In the course of use, there are still many difficulties and limitations in the application these measures into teaching and learning. Therefore, I look forward to receiving constructive feedback so that I can complete my work better. My assignment can have some unavoidable mistakes for my limited knowledge. If any readers see any problems with my small piece of work, I am willing to listen to contributing ideas. APPENDIX SOME EVIDENCE OF CONDUCTING THE COMPETITION “ A DAY AS A JOURNALIST”
