Teaching Grammar with Fun Learning Games
Arif Saricoban and Esen Metin
"Games
and problem-solving activities, which are task-based and have a purpose beyond
the production of correct speech, are the examples of the most preferable
communicative activities."
"practice and internalise
vocabulary, grammar and structures extensively."
They can do
this because students are often more motivated to play games than they are to
do desk work. Plus, during the game, the students are focused on the activity
and end up absorbing the language subconsciously. One can also add that fun
learning games usually contain repetition, which allows the language to stick.
Saricoban and Metin,
"the
use of such activities both increases the cooperation and competition in the
classroom."
Aydan Ersoz
explains more reasons why games do work for teaching grammar.
Learning a language requires constant effort and that can be tiring. Ersoz says
games can counter this as because:
* Games that are amusing and challenging are highly motivating.
* Games allow meaningful use of the language in context.
* Games that are amusing and challenging are highly motivating.
* Games allow meaningful use of the language in context.
Children are more motivated to
learn grammar with games
The theory of
intrinsic motivation also gives some insight as to why teaching grammar through
games actually works. Intrinsic motivation refers to the internal factors that
encourage us to do something. Most young learners will not internally decide
that they want to learn grammar. They don't yet understand the concepts of why
it's important to know proper grammar, so these external factors won't affect
them much either. Instead, intrinsic motivation can lead encourage them to play
games. If these games are good then they will be learning while they are
playing.
What Kinds of Games Work Best?
When you are
looking for games to use in your classroom, don't just pick something to be a
"time filler" which does not have a definite linguistic outcome.
These games may entertain the students, but when you don't have much time with
them each day as it is, you want your game to do double duty to get the most
out of the time you spend playing games.
Reflect
Teaching
English grammar doesn’t difficult or painful. We can teach English grammar using
fun learning games. Researchers have also begun to look at how and why these
new methods work. There are four reasons to teach grammar with games.
First,
Arif Saricoban and Esen Metin explain "Games and problem-solving
activities, which are task-based and have a purpose beyond the production of
correct speech, are the examples of the most preferable communicative
activities." and grammar games help children not only gain knowledge but
be able to apply and use that learning.
Second,
Games help students to "practice and internalize vocabulary, grammar and
structures extensively." They have more motivated to play games than they
are to do desk work. They will focus on the activity and learn languages
subconsciously.
Third,
Using games will increases the cooperation and competition in the classroom. It
can add excitement through competition or games which create bonding among
students and teacher.
The
last, Aydan Ersoz, says games can counter this as because games that are
amusing and challenging are highly motivating and games allow meaningful use of
the language in context.
In
conclude, Intrinsic motivation can lead encourage them to play games. If these
games are good then they will be learning while they are playing. I agree with
this article because there are 4 reasons to teach grammar can help students
have more motivated to play game. Then they will learn the language
subconsciously. So English grammar isn’t hard for teacher and student. Funny
game is activity that increases the cooperation and competition in the
classroom. It creates bounding among students and teacher Using some movement
is crucial because movement helps activate the students' mental capacities and
stimulate neural networks, thus promoting learning and retention.
