Abstract
“In Mexico, students are not used to applying out-of-class learning, nor do they comprehend the benefits of developing English communicative skills. This is not limited to speaking, but also to listening and their behavior interacting with the rest of the people. For this reason, the objective of this study is to analyze how BUAP high school students are engaged in applying out-of-class learning and their opinions about their communicative skills. This has the purpose to affirm how out-of-class learning promotes human and language development by confirming what Lai et al. (2015) mention: an active participation in out-of-class activities. This study used a mixed embedded method to analyze how students are engaged in applying out-of-class learning and their opinions when improving their communicative skills. A questionnaire and an interview are applied to distinguish the students’ engagement and the out-ofclass learning benefits, so both interviews and questionnaires are related to confirming the statement. It is applied to 35 BUAP high school students, who study at the “Preparatoria Emiliano Zapata Extensión San Martín Texmelucan” and are in 3rd and 5th semester. The results indicate that students who apply out-of-class learning have presented a higher language communicative comprehension related to listening and speaking but lack the confidence to get along much better”.
