Description
Games to learn English is a free games website. This website's goal is to offer tools that will help students practice English in an interesting and enjoyable manner. The online games are simple to play. They provide practice in a variety of areas, including as prepositions, vocabulary, phrases, tenses (present, past, present perfect, etc.), and more. It's the ideal tool to utilize with students with an elementary level of English, who easily become distracted. Students can pick the game's theme and level of difficulty (easy/hard). The game gets faster as they progress. Students can also review a set of content by clicking on the 'review' option. Images are used to make the sentences and words more accessible. There is an audio option in the game. The majority of games include challenging and enjoyable components, so they encourage players to select the right answer from a variety of options in order to score points. Additionally, score increases faster if players continue to provide accurate answers in a succession (without any mistakes). The site could be used with students at risk of demotivation because the online interactive activities can be chosen according to students’ language level and their topics are interesting to students. In the game presented below, learning takes place through exposure and use of question language. Students use the language in a context of questions and answers, which reinforces an association between question meaning and language. There are 2 difficulty levels to choose from - easy and difficult. The students can work on their own or in pairs. The materials on the site can be used and applied in a fully virtual/at distance teaching context and in a blended learning environment.
