INTRODUCTION 
Learning  and  teaching  languages  is  not  a new phenomenon in  the world  and people have been 
using  different  foreign  languages  for  variable  purposesthroughout  history  such  as  trade, 
interpersonal communication, exchange of beliefs and etc.,. In the past learning languages mostly 
based  on  naturalistic  way  which  means  to  acquire  language  via  communication  with  native 
speakers.  Nevertheless,  in  language  teaching  a  lot  of  experiments  have  been  conducted  which 
lead  to  structured  approaches  to  the  presentation  of  the  target  language  that  are  now  called 
language methodology. 
We can divide language teaching period into two large parts: 
1.  Traditional  way  of  language    teaching  (which  mostly  concerns  about  form  and  meaning  
based on translation and drill) 
2.  Non-traditional way of language teaching (which has been marked by a considerable amount 
of creativity and energy in language teaching) [2,7]
