Abstract	This study aimed to investigate the effect of field trips in the Primary stage on developing empathy and English language fluency. The researcher reviewed the literature for EFL fluency related to field trips and then designed a component list as a baseline for a pre-posttest, and a rubric for measuring the students' performance through field trips and the empathy quotient of the students. The participants were 6th -grade students in al Hoda international school, aged 11-12 years old, and the researcher adopted the quasi-experimental study design. Data were collected and analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Findings showed a higher level of empathy and English language fluency. Post-treatment results illustrated authentic real-life experiences that affected both empathy and the EFL fluency of the students. The three variables were harmoniously connected to develop the learners academically and emotionally. Field trips broadened the students' minds, and empowered their abilities in critical thinking, analysis, collaboration, and problem-solving. Field trips also increased the flow of their language, and strengthened their relationships with each other and their teachers. Moreover, field trips increased the learners' self-awareness and social awareness through their contact with others. (As Provided).
