USING GAMES AS THE LEADING MEANS OF ORGANIZING TEACHING PROCESS 
Summary 
This article describes using variety games in teaching process. Games can help the teachers 
to create attractive methods for the class. 
 
Keywords: alternative solution, take part widely open-mindedly, target language practice, social 
skills, team spirit, effective tools, universal means, interactive methods, authentic communication. 
Learning is one of the primary activities of students in the classroom. Successful learning is 
only on the right way to lead the process. Good learning atmosphere and method can guide the 
students to learn more and meaningful. To accomplish such condition, teachers must create variety 
and attractive methods for the class. 
What should a teacher do if their students get bored? Using variety games can be an 
alternative solution to handle this problem. Games, as a matter of fact, can help and encourage 
many students to sustain co-in their interest and work. 
Games can help the teachers to creative contexts in which the language is useful and 
meaningful. In the whole process of teaching and learning by games the students can take part 
widely and open-mindedly. To win the games each student or group should competitively answer 
the questions addressed by the teacher or other students or groups. In order to do so they must 
understand what the teacher or others are saying or have written, and they must speak or write in 
order to express their own point of view or give information. 
Playing games in classroom can support English learning in many perspectives. That is it 
provides opportunities for target language practice, encourage students to communicate by using all 
four language skills, creates a real life situation for using language. Moreover, the foremost 
students’ problem in learning English is lack of interest. The games are the effective means 
sustaining students’ interest and getting rid of anxiety in class. In addition, games develop students’ 
social skills in co-operative with others as well as build up team spirit. 
Chosen games are designed to support studying material. Many activities push students to 
use new words as well as word phrases. In other way, they help teacher to recall material in a 
pleasant, entertaining way. Another factor influencing the choice of a game is its length and the 
time necessary for its completion. Many games have a time limit, but the teacher can either allocate 
more or less time depending on the students’ level, the number of people in a group, or the 
knowledge of the rules of a game. 
Games are often used as short warm-up activities or some time left at the end of a lesson. 
Crossword puzzles are effective tools in learning vocabulary. 
Learning a foreign language is not easy. If learning itself feels like a game, and if the 
learners feel they are discovering a fascinating new world through games which they would also 
enjoy playing outside the classroom, it is much more likely that English play a central role in their 
world. Foreign language teachers are like the artists who try to appeal the more than just the 
intellect by exercising their imagination as well as their heart. Games represent a bridge between
studying and fun, between mother tongue and target language and last but not least, between teacher 
and student. 
Pedagogy develops is to catch it up, use new technologies, methods and means of teaching, 
one of which is game. Game is universal means, as it can be used at teaching to make the studying
process effective, interesting and accessible.

English being means of communication, as well as any other language, is known to be 
means of receiving and sending information. English-speaking communication is the basic 
educational activity of linguistic university students, so interactive methods become effective means 
of teaching English as it gives huge opportunities of the authentic communication. 
The success of teaching depend on the interest of students to the subject on their to learn it. 
Sometimes classes pass by, not leaving a trace in education of students. Studying time is whiled 
away by drawing pictures, talking to the neighbor. In some cases the stimuli- is very difficult to 
create. But the high motivation to study English is observed by using games which gives a variety 
of forms of teaching from listening to audio records and watching video. As it is known, all these 
kinds of activity are sources of entertainments of students during leisure time. The process of 
teaching English becomes interesting, easy and thus productive.
