Games in language learning Introduction
Children love playing games. Playing games is a vital and natural part of growing up and learning. Children learn by experimenting with their environment and the world around them and playing games is one way that they can discover this. You as language teachers can enlarge your students’ world by including the playing of games in teaching your students the English language.
Games can make a lesson much more interesting especially for those children who are not so motivated. Playing a game can bring variety to a lesson.Using a foreign language in playing a game immediately makes the learning of the words useful for them. It brings to life the whole reason for learning the language.
