Games in the Teaching of Foreign Languages

KARA, Mehmet

The use of games in teaching of foreign languages is that students learn the foreign languages easier, the students enjoy this method, they participate classes with love and willingly and the stuff that they learn seams to be much more permanent. Games in the process of teaching foreign languages seem to be a forward key for the teachers. Moreover, the teaching of the languages through the games, will learn the students to share, to have a friendship, to socialize and to communicate among others. The most important thing for the teacher is to know which games is propper for the basic language skills, to choose the game for the purpose and to applicate it correctly. One of the principles of foreign language teaching is to develop the four basic language skills. These skills are listening, speaking, reading and writing which consists of the functional integrity. Teaching of foreign languages includes a lot of games and a lot of researches have done about these issue. Since I have personaly applied these games in TÖMER Gazi University (Gazi University the Turkish Language Teaching Center) I can tell that I was getting exellent results. Most important thing is to be able to applicate it and at the end to have possitive results.
