using games in teaching

 Ok guys, here I want to share you information that very useful for us as a teacher in teaching learning process.

Why use games in language teaching

Games have long been advocated for assisting language learning. Here are some of the reasons why:

1. Games add interest to what students might not find very interesting. Sustaining interest can mean sustaining effort (Thiagarajan, 1999; Wright, Betteridge, & Buckby, 2005). After all, learning a language involves long-term effort.

2. Games provide a context for meaningful communication. Even if the game involves discrete language items, such as a spelling game, meaningful communication takes place as students seek to understand how to play the game and as they communicate about the game: before, during, and after the game (Wright, Betteridge, & Buckby, 2005).

3. Games can involve all the basic language skills, i.e., listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and a number of skills are often involved in the same game (Lee, 1995).

4. As many games can be played outside of class, they provide a means for students to use the language outside of class time (Ellis, 2005).

5. Games can connect to a variety of intelligences (Gardner, 1999), e.g.,
1. Games played with others involve interpersonal intelligence
2. Games involving drawing connect with visual/spatial intelligence
3. Games often have a hands-on element, such as cards, spinners, or pieces, which connect with bodily/kinesthetic intelligence

From all information based on many expert games I conclude that game is the best solution to teach children, because many games we can choose for children to improve their skill. When we teach students use games, student will be more cooperative, more interesting to follow up our instruction in teaching learning process and children do not fell bored with teaching learning process.

When and how to use games

Games constitute a more substantial part of language courses (Lee, 1979; Rixon, 1981, Uberman, 1998). In the Presentation-Practice-Production framework (Mauer, 1997), (in which language items are first presented for students to listen to and/or read, then practiced in a manner in which the language used is controlled, e.g., students read out a dialogue from the textbook in which the two characters compare study habits, and then produced by students in a less controlled manner, e.g., two students discuss their own study habits), the games can be either for practicing specific language items or skills or for more communicative language production. Similarly, games can also be used as a way to revise and recycle previously taught language (Uberman, 1998).

How to Learn Speed Reading

   12 tips to learn speed reading:

1. Time your current reading speed. Not only will timing help you to tell if you're improving, but it will also keep you motivated.
2. Get rid of distractions. Try to find a solitary place to read, and turn off the TV, radio and cell phone.
3. Adjust reading speed depending on the material. an important part of increasing reading speed is deciding how thoroughly you need to comprehend a particular piece of writing.
4. Learn to separate the wheat from the chaff with pre-reading. With practice, you will be able to identify the most important parts of a book as you skim through it. When you get to such a passage, slow down.
5. Train yourself not to reread. Most people frequently stop and skip back to words or sentences they just read to try to make sure they understood the meaning
6. Stop reading to yourself. don't  pronounce the words to your self.
7. Read with your hand. You can maximize your eyes' efficiency by using your hand to guide them
8. Practice reading blocks of words. Not every word is important, and in order to read quickly, you'll need to read groups of words - or even whole sentences or short paragraphs - instantaneously
9. Practice and push yourself. Always push yourself to your comfort level and beyond - if you end up having to reread a section, it's not a big deal.
10. Time yourself regularly. Do this regularly thereafter, and keep track of your improvement
11. Have speed reading work sessions of 20 minutes with one book and one clear purpose. If you feel you still need more from a book, don’t go back to it until you’ve had a break.
12. Have a clear purpose for reading.
