It was an important tool to improve the students’ writing skills through activities related to vocabulary and communicative tasks. Teachers can use the FC approach to create a fun and interesting environment where in children feel free and motivated to participate in class through a combination of interactive activities.

A bibliographic method was used to develop the theoretical background of this research, and quantitative method was used for data collection and analysis by means of observations of a control and an experimental group, a pre- research survey, a pre-test and a post-test.
