Abstract	The question of how to teach and learn English has been the preoccupation of many scholars of English Language Teaching for more than a century. Since the emergence of grammar translation method, researchers, teachers, and academicians have been trying to find the best method for their learners. In other words, this process can be defined as a century of questioning. In fact, some of the methods have been successful to some extend in the mastery of language, but most of them unfortunately cannot even reach the promised lands of the fruitful learning, and none of them were completely suitable for all types of the learners. There are several reasons behind this problem, and one of them could be the students' contribution in the creation of these methods. It has been rarely questioned that how students feel about these methods employed in English classes, despite the fact that these methods, namely "innovations," have been created for the purpose of students' mastery of foreign language learning. This study is mainly focused on using quantitative design conducted with 975 students and participants were randomly selected from 3 universities, 5 high schools, 2 middle schools and 1 primary school in Turkey and Iraq in order to analyze the suitability of English instruction from the perspective of learners towards innovative lean method. Within the context of the study, the students' attitudes and opinions towards innovative Lean Educational method were revealed and some recommendations were developed for especially language teachers and researchers.
