Effective classroom management should meet students’ abilities and choice of teaching strategies. As Reece and Walker (1997) points out “the choice of teaching strategy can have an effect upon motivation and interest of the student”. By increasing student motivation and desire to learn a language is thought to be much more important than the social factors (Lennartsson, 2008). The methods and techniques play a vital role both on students’ motivation and achievement in language classes. The purpose of this study is to determine high school students’ views about the effectiveness of language teaching methods and techniques used in English classes. We aimed to see if high school students’ opinions toward use of methods and techniques used by their teachers in English classes differed in terms of gender, school type and grade level variables.
