To achieve the aims and verify the hypotheses the researcher had adopted a number of procedures beginning from Presenting a theoretical background of SCAMPER strategy as a new strategy for teaching English, selecting randomly samples of Iraqi preparatory pupils as subject for conducting and dividing them in two groups: experimental and control, and Constructing a pre and post achievement tests. Analyzing data by using suitable statistical means and then stating results, conclusions, suggestions, and recommendations.

Each section consists of (35) pupils.
Encouraging results had been obtained when analyzed the data, which are shown the following points: 1- There is a significant difference in the mean scores between experimental group who is taught by using SCAMPER strategy and the Control group which is taught by the conventional strategy in the posttest achievement in English language. 2- Teaching pupils by using SCAMPER strategy has proved effectiveness in raising pupils' creative thinking skills.
Based on the result, the obtained conclusions in this study, appropriate recommendation, and suggestions for further studies are put forward.
