This study investigated teachers’ attitudes towards the use of extracurricular activities (ECAs) in enhancing High School students' speaking skills in Saudi Arabia. Data for the study were collected from questionnaires distributed to 40 high school teachers and semi-structured interviews with three of them. It is found that majority of teachers have positive attitudes towards ECAs. The finding also shows that even though teachers use ECAs, the activities are not appropriately planned. Based on the findings, the study suggests sufficient care for planned and efficient practice of ECAs to help EFL teachers to improve their students' communicative skills in general and speaking ones in specific.
