Abstract

There are many kinds of teaching techniques and methods to apply. However, the teaching of foreign language is not such an easy thing to do. It is the fact that many of the Indonesian learners are not capable of speaking English very well although they have been learning it for more than 10 (ten) years. This might be caused by several factors. One of them is dealing with the teaching technique or method used by the teacher. In accordance with the teaching technique, it was said that there were 3 (three) interesting activities which could make the learners pleased and joyful for language learning activities: Pictures, Stories and Games. Among these three teaching techniques, the writer would rather choose ‘Games’ to be presented in this paper because playing Games is not only enjoyable, fun and joyful but also communicative, [3]. In line with this statement, this study is aimed at describing about the concept of Game(s) and how to play Games in foreign language teaching and learning. Based on the several researches, it was said that Playing Games could make both the teacher and the learners/students pleased, joyful and fun during the teaching and learning process. Therefore, the students would not feel that they were learning a new language instead of playing Games. Due to the fact that this activity could not only make the foreign language learners be encouraged and but also well motivated because they were amused and fun.
