Learning a foreign language is not easy. If learning
itself feels like a game, and if the learners feel
they are discovering a fascinating new world through
games which they would also enjoy playing outside the
classroom, it is much more likely that English will
play a central role in their world. Not only the
children, but also adults will find easier to learn a
foreign language, if they practice it through
interesting activities. Foreign language teachers are
like the artists who try to appeal to more than just
the intellect by exercising their imagination as well
as their heart. They have to know that times are
changing and the teaching process requires new
techniques. Games represent a bridge between studying
and fun, between mother tongue and target language
and last but not least, between teacher and student.
We can also add that they help students to get to
know themselves and their classmates. These reasons
as well as the five chapters of my work suggest that
games are indispensable in teaching English as a
foreign language.
