This is what I would like to say about language games in the classroom; despite the words "language games", I understand that we have to put in a lot of effort in order to come up with the best game ever for the students. We also have the need to make the game useful and substantive so that it can be brought out of the classroom as well ( students can play the games outside of the classroom). I enjoyed language games class because the environment is especially condusive to learning. The activities actually pushed students to do their best despite having to compete with others. The bingo game taught by Encik Ghazali sure is stimulating because I did not realize that we could actually play it in another totally different context altogether. As my partner and I planned the game for the coming exhibition in the class, we discovered a lot of methodological planning is requiured of us and also we found a lot of embedded integrative skills that underlie our games. Therefore, lg. games could really cater to improve students' lg. because it allowsstudents to use the language instead of just studying the language. The game has a high value of authenticity that is crucial to a learning environment ( if we look at the positive aspect of it ! :) ) I think my essay should be able to reach the span of 100 words??? :) :) :)
