The major aim of the current study was to investigate the impacts of using Field Trips Method on developing Achievement and Satisfaction in English Instruction for Students with Special Needs Course for Students Teachers, English Majors. The design of the study followed the quasi-experimental, experimental, 2x2, pre-test, post-test control group design. Subjects of the study consisted of two groups (N=70), third year English majors at Al-Arish Faculty of Education. One was the experimental group (35), while the other was the control one (35), during the first semester of the academic year 2018/2019. To achieve the essential aim of the study, the following two instruments have been prepared and administered by the researcher after proving their validity and reliability: 1) The Pre/Post Achievement Test for English Instruction for Students with Special Needs Course, and 2) The Satisfaction/Dissatisfaction Questionnaire towards using the Field Trips Method of Teaching. Findings of the study have revealed that, a) there are significant statistical differences between the means of scores of the experimental group students in the Pre and Post Achievement Tests at each level of Bloom's Revised Cognitive Taxonomy, and total scores of the test, b) there are statistically significant differences between the means of scores of both the control and experimental group students in the Post-Achievement Test in favor of the post-administration of the experimental group in each level of Bloom's Revised Cognitive Taxonomy and the total scores of the test, and c) there are significant statistical differences showing the experimental group students' satisfaction with using the Field Trips Method. Recommendations and suggestions for further researches and studies have been presented.
