The participants of the study have been (70) purposefully chosen from Himreen secondary school for boys/ the representation of ministry of Education in Erbil and divided into two groups: (35) students for the experimental group and (35) students for the control group. To achieve the aim of the study, the two groups have been statistically equalized in some variables. The experiment has lasted two weeks during which the researcher himself has taught the experimental group which adopt FCS while the control group has received the ordinary method. The instrument of the study has been a scale constructed by the researcher to measure students’ attitudes towards English Subject. By using t-test formula, the results have showed that there is a significant difference in the students' attitudes between the experimental group and the control group in favour of the experimental one. This difference can be attributed to the use of FCS.
