TASK 2(a): LANGUAGE GAME

The fifth task in our assignment is to design a language game on word formation, for example compound words, stems and affixes. This is also one of our tutorials. Last week, we had discussed on our games and was been approved by Madam Ira.

Then, in our tutorial, we need to conduct our language game that we prepared last week in front of the classroom. The name of our game is "Word Scramble".

The following are the terms and regulation on the games:

• Seven letters will be shown on the screen.

• Using the provided seven letters, create as many words as you can, at least 3 letters, and at most 7 letters within a time limit of 2 minutes.

• One group will be made up of four people.

• Each of the letters may be only used once per word. For example, if there are 2 “A”s among the seven letters, the word must use either one or two “A”s.

• After 2 minutes are up, the full list of words will be shown.

• In order to advance to the next round, the group must achieve the goal of number of words need to be created.

• Any group who fails to achieve the number of words required will be eliminated from the game.

• After 2 minutes are up, the full list of words will be shown.

• In order to advance to the next round, the group must achieve the goal of number of words need to be created.

• Any group who fails to achieve the number of words required will be eliminated from the game.

Every group has good games that can be used for classroom activities especially for class activities. Everyone seemed to enjoy all the games and as usual, there will be a winner for the best games. For this time, Madam Ira said, every group had prepared good games and the winner of all the activities wins the price.

I think that, this week lecture and games are the most attractive week for me because I had learned a lot of things such as word formation and word structure and we can build up a lot of activities so that pupils will attract to learn English only through word formation

Besides, from language games, we not just only for the purpose of fun, but we can learn directly from the games. The games will help us in develop our thinking skills as well as our communication skills which might I think as an important skills nowadays. Without communication, I believe that we are going to be in trouble as we could not get involve in someone conversation and communication is also one of the important skills in job interview. That is why I think that language games will motivate pupils to get involved in the classroom. I think that’s all from me. Good bye and thank you.
