Main Article Content
Abstract
Because games can improve student motivation, engagement, and language acquisition, their use in language instruction has drawn a lot of attention lately. This article examines the potential ways of structuring games based on situation or time in language instruction. Teachers can establish an engaging and dynamic learning environment that promotes active engagement and facilitates successful language acquisition by implementing game-based learning strategies.
