USING GAMES IN ENGLISH TEACHING FOR STUDENTS OF MULTILINGUAL TRAINING

The article describes the importance and necessity of using games in the classroom. Games help the teacher create contexts in which the language is useful and meaningful. The students want to take part in them and in order to do so must understand what others are saying or have written, and they must speak or write in order to express their own point of view or give information. The need for meaningfulness in language learning has been accepted for some years. A useful interpretation of “meaningfulness” is that the learners respond to the content in a definite way. If they are amused, angered, intrigued or surprised, the content is clearly meaningful to them. Thus, the meaning of the language they listen to, read, speak and write will be more vividly experienced and, therefore, better remembered.
