The present study is a experimental method which involves both quantitative and qualitative data. The researcher reviews the related literature and his experiment as a teacher at an international school. The participants for this study are two sections of the seventh grade. This sample is consisted of sixty-one male students enrolling for the 2015-2016 academic year.  The results of this study show that the eclectic approach gave a chance to students to see different kinds of teaching techniques that break monotony. In addition, the eclectic approach enabled work done with modern teaching aids (e.g. audio-visual aids, computer) to be an extension of the method used in class.
