Our project  consists of 1 Finland, 8 Turkey, 1 Italy, 1 Romania partners. The first goal in language teaching is to gain communication skills. Benefiting from creative methods and techniques in foreign language education addresses many affective and cognitive areas. Because creative methods and techniques like drama force the learner to use the language actively. As the learner begins to use the language, it becomes productive, which improves his linguistic skill. The richness and applicability of the techniques used in language teaching enable the student to reveal himself and therefore motivate him.

When all the graded items are examined, it is seen that the students are concentrated in the expression of indecision throughout the survey. This is easily understandable as the I am ‘not sure’option on most of the items attracts more students than other options. On the other hand, the concentration of the students in the expression “I am neutral” can be interpreted as not having a positive or negative opinion about the questions asked.

The item most approved by students (participation is declared) is the 16th item. 33,6 % of the students completely agree with the statement "Social media, movies, songs, news help me to improve my fluent English" statement. Approximately 56% of them stated that I agree. 2. As the majority of the students, the rate of agreeing to the 7th item was found to be high. 39% of the students completely agree with the item "Using technology has greatly improved my speaking skills"; approximately 16,8% marked it as agree. Thirdly, the students' rate of approving the 15th item was found to be high. 22,4% agree with the item "I use the internet by taking into account the ethical rules" I have information about "netiquette".

As the 4th, the level of agreement with the 14th item was found to be high. Approximately 54% of the students marked the option "Brainstorming and similar methods and activities help me to speak better", and 23% of them completely agree.

Generally, the items that students participate in are that the use of technology in foreign language learning and the use of modern teaching methods improve them positively. Additionally, they state that they abide by ethical rules while using the internet.

The disagreement rates that students have poor speaking skills are higher than their agreement rates. Questions 1, 2 and 3 are examples of this. This can be shown as an evidence that students do not consider their English speaking skills weak.

Post Test Evaluation Report
According to the results of the Post-Test measurement tool consisting of 25 items applied to 140 participants, a significant difference was found between the pre-test and the post-test when all of the graded items were examined. While it was seen that the participants in the pre-test focused on the expression of indecision in their English speaking, writing and reading skills throughout the survey, they stated that they saw a great improvement in their English language skills in the post-test results. While the "I'm not sure" option in most of the items in the Pre-Test attracts more students than the other options, in the Post-Test results, the participants tended to the phrase "I am absolutely sure". On the other hand, while it was observed that the participants concentrated on the expression "I am not sure" in the pre-test, the "strongly agree" option in the post-test was marked by the majority of the participants, and it can be interpreted that their views about the English learning methods and techniques used in the program were shaped in a positive way.

The item most approved by the participants in the Post-Test is item 23. 92.6% of the participants said yes to the statement "I am more willing to learn English". This can be interpreted as the training given to a large extent achieved its purpose for the participants. The second highest rate is the item "I actively participated in the course" 90.7% of the participants This can be interpreted as the participants had an educational experience in which they participated actively and willingly during the training. Thirdly, the rate of agreement with item 19 was high. 89.3% of the participants said, "I like to create new things with my friends. For example, writing a book, composing a song, painting, etc. "I agree; 10.7% marked it as disagree. This can be perceived as group work is interpreted by the participants as popular and productive work. In the fourth place, the students' rate of approving item 18 was high."

"Social media, movies, songs help me speak better English" were selected as 83% I strongly agree and 10% I agree. This can be interpreted as media channels and tools that activate the participant in the visual, auditory and affective fields in foreign language education positively improve speaking skills. In the 5th place, the first item “What are the chances of you recommending the e-Twining project to your friends or family?” Approximately 80.7% of the participants indicated that they found the project meaningful and contributing to them by ticking the option I definitely recommend, 12.9% of them said that they would recommend it to their friends or family. It was concluded that they would also recommend to people.

After the comparison made by looking at the differences between the items in the pre-test and the post-test, the drama technique, web 2 tools used in the process and the education process met their expectations, in general, the participants actively participated in the training process, the efficiency was higher in the group work, there was a significant increase in speaking skills, especially. It is concluded that modern techniques and methods such as social media and social media, in which participants will actively participate, contribute positively to language learning. While the rates of disagreement about the poor speaking skills of the students in the pretest were higher than the agreement rates, 37% strongly agree with the statement “I express myself better in English” in the 25th item of the post-test, 38% of them stated that they saw improvement in their English speaking skills may be cited as proof.
