Abstract :Language is the most basic and important communication tool. Today in our modern world, individuals need to learn at least one foreign language. The concept that we think of when it comes to language is that it’s a communication tool which consists of words, sounds and grammar, and it is universally accepted that it is the most important element in our social lives. English is the most common global communication language and its use in economic, social, political, artistic and scientific spheres has led English to be taught as a foreign language in our country too. Educational systems have some responsibility to encourage learners to take part in social and cultural activities. Learning English is a difficult task and  requires a great deal of effort. Active participation is among the requirements of individuals since foreign languages are different from their mother tongue, therefore in order to grasp the concepts more quickly individuals need to actively participate.
