Communicative fluency games

and activities for the English

language teaching.
Why should we use games in Class
Time?
Games are fun and children like to play them.
Through games children experiment, discover,
and interact with their environment.
Games add variation to a lesson and increase
motivation.
Through games, pupils can learn English the
way children learn their mother tongue without
being aware they are studying.
Games help children learn English without stress
and even shy students can participate positively.
Games make pupils smile!!!!!!

How should we choose games?
A game must be more than just fun.
A game should involve friendly competition.
A game should keep all the students involved
and interested.
A game should encourage students to focus on
the use of language rather than on the language
itself.
A game should give students a chance to learn,
practice and review specific language material.
Why games?

Just because games are fun and children
like to play them.
Games are often used as short warm-up
activities at the beginning or at the end of
the lesson.
Jokes, riddles and interesting stories are
used as warm-up activities and they can
be excellent listening practice.


Here are some common riddles that
children enjoy :

(A hot dog)
What are the three quickest ways of sending a message?
(Telephone, telegraph and tell a woman)

routine of the language class.
They are motivating and challenging.
Games provide language practice in the various
skills Speaking, Writing, Listening and
Reading.
Games encourage students to interact and
communicate.

The language is not just a socio-cultural means based on communication, it
is also based on development, discovery of the new and practice.
In order to teach a language it is very important to choose the right way.
My paper demonstrates the efficiency of the communicative games and
activities in teaching a foreign language. I use different methods and
techniques and some of them are:
Guessing games
Problem-solving activities
Ranking exercises
Brainstorming
Delbeq method
Magazine search
Beat the clock
Back to back
Jigsaw tasks
Discussion games
Thinking strategies
Round table
Interview, etc

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to mention that
learning English through games is one
effective and interesting way that can be
applied in any classrooms. Games are
used not only for mere fun, but more
importantly, for the useful improving
learners communicative competence.
They should not be a waste of time and
must be an essential part of the learners
development.
