Yes - but the result would be real nonsense. 'English has been being learned by me since 8 o'clock'. (Repeat, this is GARBAGE). The pasive voice is useful when we don't know (or it's obvious) who the agent was. E.g. My car was stolen at about 8 o'clock. (I don't know who did it).

Play a class race-game where they score points, make it into a board game, get them to act it out, set it to music.... There is never just one 'best' way if you want to take different learning styles into account....(Answered by mel)
