There are Learning Games Even for Languages

When I started this blog, I was not thinking of learning games for languages. Would you believe that there is a book called "Games for Language Learning" by Andrew Wright.

Here is a short description of the book:
"Games provide meaningful and enjoyable language practice at all levels and for all age groups. They can be used to practise any of the skills - speaking, listening, reading and writing - at any stage of the learning process, from controlled repetition through guided practice to free expression. To enable teachers to select the activities most suitable for their needs, precise information is provided, both at the beginning of each game and in the summary chart, about the language content, the skills to be practised, the level, the degree of teacher-control, and the time and materials required. Clear advice is given on preparation and classroom procedure, with many illustrations and examples. There is a comprehensive index."

You can get Games for Language Learning (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers) from Amazon. It has a 5 star rating from four reviewers.

I did not learn languages using games. Wonder how it will be like. Guess definitely more fun than how I was taught.
