1. In light of the gathered data in the study, ICT tools were found to be more effective on students‘ academic achievement levels and attitudes towards the course than the activities instruction based on student textbooks. So, it is suggested teachers should use this approach in their lessons. Because, after the experimental process of this strategy, students rose their academic achievement and attitudes towards the lesson in a greater extent. 

2. Teachers should direct the process of the approach effectively so that if they cannot direct the strategy effectively, students can be frustrated and demoralised, they can be bored with the lesson and the strategy can be unsuccessful from the beginning of the process. 

3. By ICT tools, students have a chance to practise their understanding on the learning material by interacting and communicating with their peers in the groups. Students do not memorise the concepts and other things, they do study the learning materials and learn deeply. In other words, they have a chance to practise their understanding on the learning material with project-based learning. So the learning environment should be organised so that students interact face to face with each other and share the responsibility of the learning process. 

4. Teachers should give projects to students so that students have a chance to select from a number of subjects. In addition, teachers should pay attention to the students so that the students organise their work with the principles of ICT tools. 

5. High School English Curriculum in Turkey should be integrated with the techniques and principles of ICT ools in order to develop students‘ academic, communicative and creative competences as well as other social and emotional skills. 

6. Similar researches can be carried out in other lessons and institutions such as elementary school or university level.
