Hi Mr.G! I know that I'm one of your students that failure to submit the lesson plan and literature review but it's my fault because I'm a last minute worker... and this is also because I have a problem with the blogspot and not invited for the gameplan before this... Now, I just publish these lesson plan and literature review for the others as their additional reading. Yes next time I must finish my work earlier and don't be the last minute worker!!! Pity you Syidah because you lost 20 marks although it was just a simple work... it was you fault :( I hope that Mr.G could consider to give me either 1or 2 marks as "markah kesian"... but I know it was my fault and don't blame anybody!

LITERATURE REVIEW
THE LAST LETTER

Languages learning in early days seen as a serious task because the students have to memorize all the vocabularies and the grammatical structure of the language in a very hard way. The drills that been used were extremely forcing the students to learn a language in harder way in order to produce them as a proficient learner. Nowadays, learning a language comes in various methods where students are allowed to practice the learned language through many enjoyable activities. New era of teaching language involves many sort of teaching method such as teaching the language through drama presentation, role-play, listening to the music, watching videos, language games and so forth. Language game is one of the best ways to provide the students with a cosy environment in learning the new language. Learning a language via games would lead the students to higher motivation in learning that particular language successfully.
The Last Letter is a game that basically focusing on vocabularies and spelling. This language game is very popular in Japan and it is known as Shiritori. How the game played is very simple and it will cost you nothing all except for a wide knowledge of vocabulary in that language. Vocabulary is acquired when the learner can understand and identify the meaning of a word and able to put it into an appropriate context. The most important part in understanding a word is the meaning and the spelling. Different meaning and spelling of a word would lead to a different word. Having a great knowledge of vocabularies can help a student to learn the language more effective as they can play a lot in constructing sentences with various words. Knowing a vocabulary is very important because without it the students would not be able to learn the functions and the structure of the language that is to be used in comprehension and communication. (Nesamalar, C et.al, 1995: 250)
The Last Letter is a simple game that can be played in a flexible way where you do not have to need an appropriate time and place. In other word, this game is sustainable enough for the teachers to let students play the game while at the same time it helps the students to have chance to practice what they had learned. In original setting in Japan, the game is played as this. The Last Letter of the word must be the first letter of the next word. A ball is needed but a screwed up a piece of paper is fine. Then the teacher throws the ball to one student and says a word, such as ‘dog’. The students must reply with a word starting with ‘g’, such as ‘girl’. When answered, the ball is thrown back to the teacher and it is then throw to the next students. The sequence will follow the same thing until it is finish. In the natural setting classroom of Malaysia, the game played is still the same and the exact methods of playing. The Last Letter game is as follows.
a) The first student is going to say one word. Then he/she will throw the Beanie Frog to the next student.
b) The next student is going to continue the game by saying a word. The Last Letter of the previous word must be the first letter of the next word.
c) When answered, the Beanie Frog is thrown to another student. The game continues until the end when only one student is left.
d) Each student is given only 5 second to come out with their word. The student will be kicked out from the game if exceeding the time limit.
e) The last person can be considered as the winner of each group. The winners will meet each other in the final round.
f) Example: student A = blackboard, student B = donkey, student C = yacht, student D = triangle, etc.
(blackboard, donkey, yacht, triangle, etc.)

It can be seen that spelling is merely important in the game. To prove it, the student would not be able to continue the next word if he or she does not know how to spell the first word. If he or she knows that the word ends with ‘s’, easily the student can continue the next word with ‘s’. For example, the word ‘hour’. The last letter of the word is ‘r’. As the ‘r’ is not being pronounce in the pronunciation of ‘hour’, so the student would not know that ‘r’ is the last letter of the word. Unless, the students really know the correct spelling of it, then only he or she can continue the game with another ‘r’ word such as ‘roller coaster’.
