There is only one way to increase the level of your character in World of Warcraft and that is to gain experience. Experience itself can be gained in two ways. From completing quests or by killing mobs that give experience.
The only mobs that will give experience are those that are within a few levels below your current level and up. Attacking mobs several levels above you will be a quick trip to the local graveyard. The repeated killing of experience level mobs is know as grinding. Boring? Yes, it can be. Killing mobs about 2 levels below you is the fastest experience. They give slightly less experience than mobs your level but the downtime is less.
Completing quests is a lot more interesting, although it can involve a certain amount of grinding looking for rare items. With quests you complete errands for Non-Player Characters (NPCs). This may involve something as simple as taking a message to another NPC but usually involves... yes... killing mobs. One day some game designer will introduce a game where you gain experience for completing Good Deeds. “You helped an old lady across the road! You gain 150 experience!” Until then it's all about death and destruction.
Whether you gain your experience, and hence levels, by questing or grinding really comes down to a personal choice. Bored by grinding? Go quest. Need a quick level for the battlefields? Go grind it out.
My personal choice is to quest where I can. I play WoW for pleasure, not to gain levels faster than anybody else. Your mileage may differ.
