Field trip is an effort to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes through learning experiences to achieve effective performance. The aim of this paper is to explore the advantages of English Field Trips in improving communication skills to children in primary schools and later provide the recommendations on well preparation before and after the trip. Our work is intended to emphasize the range of extracurricular educational offers and pinpoint the methods of teaching English as a second language within a borderline educational activity: field trips. Primary data is generated through questionnaires with children and semi structured interviews with teachers.
