Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the reality of practicing extracurricular environmental activities by English language students with learning difficulties from the viewpoint of their teachers in the schools of the Second Irbid Education Directorate. The study used the survey methodology to collect data, for which a questionnaire was used as an instrument of the study. The sample consisted of (200) teachers. The results showed that the environmental activities that are practiced outside the classroom, which have a relative value of 50% are variable. Such activities included creating wall magazines on environmental topics, learning safety and security rules while practicing activities, using school radio to spread environmental awareness among students, and conducting cleaning campaigns in public places. Other activities included researching the problems and sources of pollution in the Kingdom, visiting forested places, and improving the environment next to the school, such as painting sidewalks. The reason for the availability of such activities could be attributed to teachers 'awareness of the importance of these activities and their awareness of their role in developing students' environmental sense and deepening environmental concepts among their students.
