HOW GAMES IMPROVE ENGLISH LEARNING FOR YOUNG LEARNERS.

Abstract

Games have become one of the most effective methods for teaching English to young learners because they make lessons more enjoyable, interactive, and meaningful. This paper examines the role of games in improving children’s English learning by reviewing previous studies. It discusses how educational games increase learners’ motivation, develop vocabulary and speaking skills, encourage classroom interaction, and support social and cognitive development. The study also highlights the importance of selecting games that are appropriate for learners’ age, language level, and learning objectives. Based on the reviewed literature, it can be concluded that games are valuable teaching tools that help young learners acquire English more effectively while creating a positive and engaging learning environment.
