Today there are many different methods and techniques for foreign language teaching. However, among these undoubtedly, English Language Teaching is the one which has a great number of methods. It is because it frequently draws on theories and principles from Second Language Acquisition. Almost no one has a memory about how we develop our native language. This type of language acquisition that occurs unconsciously in our childhood is called as "Implicit Learning" in Second Language Acquisition. On the contrary, for the type of foreign language acquisition of individuals who learn foreign languages as a result of studying the rules and the properties of these languages intentionally, the term "Explicit Learning" is used. It is claimed in this paper that although it is easy to observe implicit learning in the language acquisition process of children, implicit learning theory can be utilized for also adults if the appropriate techniques and methods are developed with accordance to the speech situation and the language environment. Mankind is yearning for a way of learning foreign languages for centuries without an extra effort. In this study, a new method is introduced by adapting implicit learning theory practically to the reading texts. According to the outcomes of this paper, this adaptation might have a key-role for the readers to be able to acquire any input unconsciously belonging to the target language. Using this new method in reading texts enables to block the awareness of the learners, so that it becomes possible to learn a foreign language without making any extra effort.
