Abstract

The game is a natural tool for students to understand the world around them. Therefore, it should be part of their learning, including learning foreign languages. The purpose of this article is to describe the game, its classification and the benefits of teaching English. In addition, the game is a key tool for teaching. Different ways of using games in language lessons are also described in various studies.

Games have many advantages for both language teachers and learners. Students are encouraged to learn the target language when they are involved in games and have fun without noticing that they are learning the target language, and it is a pleasure for the teacher to present the language in a pleasant environment that makes the work strong. Another advantage of using games in a foreign language environment is to clarify stressful moments. A stress-free environment must be provided in the language learning environment. At this point, games are very useful because students do not feel any anxiety and their positive feelings increase and their selfconfidence improves because they are not afraid of being punished and criticized when they use language freely.
