Teaching English Through Games and Activities: An Effective
Pedagogical Approach
Abstract
The incorporation of games and activities into English language teaching (ELT) is examined in this research as a cutting-edge educational approach. According to recent studies, learning through games improves student engagement, lowers language anxiety, and stimulates deeper cognitive processing, all of which contribute to better learning results. This study presents practical implications for English language educators through a thorough review of different game formats and their efficacy in addressing particular linguistic abilities. The article ends with a series of suggestions, based on current pedagogical theory and real-world case studies, for effectively implementing games into language instruction.
