"Games are an extremely effective way of motivating students in a classroom Language teachers throughout h i:story have interspersed their grammar or course material with what often seem like lighthearted games, but they do actually touch the language directly and are
challenging And, most importantly perhaps, games are fun!"
(Word Games with English, 1994, page v) Hay theo Petre Watcyn-Jones (Vocabulary Games and Activities for Teachers, 1993), m~c du tro chai nhAt djnh la khi~n GV phai lam them vi~c, k~t qua co duqc la hoan toan xirng dang Vi~c hQC du(mg nhu tra nen tich Cl)"C han, hQC tro tham gia vao bai hQC nhi€u han, va theo kinh nghi~m clia toi ,vi~c nh& bai duqc cai thi~n m<)t each tuy~t vm
