The main purpose of experiential foreign language education is to create a true, authentic connection of the learners with the content to be learned, with the world, and with each other by using a foreign language. This study was conducted to determine the effect of learning cycle to implement experiential learning on the enhancement of language skills and changes in behavior and attitude. The study was based on quantitative and qualitative methods. A total of fifty students from various engineering branches participated in this research. They were selected randomly from two sections to conduct a pretest. Participants were divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received training through experiential learning, and the control group was taught through the usual lecture method. Posttest was executed to measure the improvement in language skills. The independent sample t-test was used to test the significance of difference between the mean scores of groups at 0.05 level. The findings of the study showed that experiential learning was an effective way to improve engineering students' language skills. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of IUP Journal of English Studies is the property of IUP Publications and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
