Which grade are you teaching? How many students are in your classes?
This is a big topic to address, but you might want to start by considering an extensive reading/listening program in your classes.

Hi,
Why don’t you try asking your question on some teaching forums? http://www.myingilizce.net/ is a popular site. The teachers there will have had a lot of experiences like yours. They can give you some ideas and support.
Everyone needs a reason to learn a language. What do you think motivates your students? How do they spend their time? What are they interested in? What are they learning in other lessons? Which English lessons with them were better, and why?
Maybe your students just want to pass exams and take tests in English grammar. This makes them feel they have learned and achieved something. If that’s true, you can’t ignore it. You need to start from there. Try to find a balance between what they want and what you would like to show them. When they have confidence in you then you will be able to do more.
