  • Traditionally, the conventional methods in
    teaching English as a foreign language, such as
    boring explanations or mechanical exercises, are
    unpleasant and can be very monotonous for
    students. For this reason, the new curricula have
    developed strategies for learning, based on the
    use of games as an educational tool.
  • In this sense, this article has the objective of
    describing the importance of the use of games in
    the teaching of English as a foreign language,
    among other issues.
  • Basically
  • Games are an important resource in the language
    learning process, and especially at an early age.
  • In recent decades, researchers have seen a huge
    increase in the amount of scientific attention
    paid to games as learning tools. Games increase
    motivation and provide a compelling incentive to
    use the foreign language.
  • What you should know about games to learn English
  • The game has traditionally been a common learning
    technique, although recognition of its
    pedagogical value still has a long way to go.
    Consequently, in this space we provide you with
    all the necessary information about games to
    learn English.

  • Why study English? Reasons to learn the language.
  • English has become the universal language, being
    the most widely spoken language in the world. For
    this reason, millions of people decide to study
    English as a second language, because mastering
    it can provide you with numerous benefits. In
    this sense, we offer you the most important
    reasons why you should take into account the
    study of the English language.
  • Employment Perhaps the main reason to study
    English is because it is essential when it comes
    to finding a job. English provides access to a
    better education, and therefore the possibility
    of a better job. It gives you the possibility of
    being able to work in any type of organization,
    and thus, improve your employment situation.
  • Education It allows access to a better
    education, without being limited to universities
    or training centers in your country, or studying
    a degree at a foreign university. In addition, it
    enables access to more current and complete
    information.
  • Culture Studying English is important because it
    will show you other cultures, lifestyles and
    different ways of thinking. You will be able to
    meet new people and understand their customs.

  • What are the benefits of learning with games?
  • Games increase motivation and provide a
    compelling incentive to use the foreign language.
    Through games, students can
  • learn English in the same way that they learn
    their mother tongue, without being fully aware
    that they are studying and learning it. In this
    way, the use of games to learn languages ??can
    offer multiple benefits
  • Affective benefits games reduce the affective
    filter, encourage a creative and spontaneous use
    of the language, promote
  • communicative competence, motivate and are fun.
  • Cognitive benefits Games are used for
    reinforcement, are useful for revision and
    extension, and focus on grammar in a
    communicative way.
  • Dynamic Benefits Games focus on students, the
    teacher acts as a facilitator, build class
    cohesion, encourage
  • whole-class participation, and promote healthy
    competition.
  • Adaptability Benefits Games are easy to adjust
    for age, level, and interests, use all four
    skills, and require minimal preparation on the
    part of students.
  • What types of games exist to learn English?
  • There are a large number of games, but we
    highlight five types in the following table
  • Information void games
  • They can be unambiguous (a student has the
    information that his partner must acquire) or
    reciprocal (student A has the information that B
    needs and vice versa).

  • Puzzle games
  • It is through the cooperation of the entire group
    that the task is completed. The objective is the
    correct union of all the pieces
  • Ranking games
  • Students make a list of items about a
  • certain focus of interest and must organize it in
    order of importance
  • Matching games
  • Identical pairs of photos, illustrations or cards
    are distributed among the whole class. Players
    must find their match by describing the
    information given
  • Selection games
  • Each player has a list with different
    possibilities and only one of them is common to
    the whole group. They must decide through
    dialogue and discussion what is that common
    denominator.
  • How to correctly select the games to learn
    English?
  • Language learning games need to be simple in
    language and
  • should be easy to explain, set up, and ultimately
    play. Likewise, when selecting the appropriate
    games for each didactic situation, a series of
    considerations must be taken into account
  • Games have to provide an opportunity for real
    communication, albeit within artificially defined
    limits.
  • The games should stimulate the acquisition of the
    foreign language, increasing the degree of
    motivation in the student.
  • The games should favor a positive, relaxed,
    relaxed climate, encouraging the participation of
    all students.
  • The very structure of the game must allow the
    student to exploit his knowledge of the foreign
    language with flexibility.

  • What is the perfect age to learn English?
  • One of the biggest disputes regarding the
    learning of a second language is the age
    considered optimal to start the study of the
    language. In response to this, many experts say
    that the best age ranges between 3 and 6 years.
    However, if you look at the positive factors that
    facilitate learning a second language at these
    ages, you can also see how it is not negative to
    start even earlier, it can even be very
    beneficial in several aspects.
  • (1) The study of foreign languages ??at an early
    age increases the development of mathematical
    skills, especially in the field of problem
    solving, another clear example that it is more a
    cognitive activity than a linguistic one.

  • How often should games be used to learn English?
  • If enough effort is put in, an hour a day should
    be enough to reach your goal in a reasonable
    amount of time. It is important to practice the
    language, so that you can master it completely,
    for this reason, it is recommended to have more
    than 3 study sessions a week.
  • Go up
  • Summary
  • Throughout history, the game has been considered
    a
  • fundamental aspect in the formation of the
    individual. In addition, as has been shown in
    this article, the game is a motivating element
    that encourages creativity and spontaneity of the
    student in class.
  • Learning in general, and that of a foreign
    language in particular,
  • responds to a general goal (to learn that
    language) that is divided into increasingly
    specific objectives. The game appears as a
    parallel dimension to these particular
    objectives, reinforcing the motivation towards a
    satisfactory end.v
