What are games ?
Language games are not activities mainly
aimed to break the ice between students or
to kill time. Byrne (1995) gave the definition
to games as a form of play governed by rules.
They should be enjoyed and fun. They are
not just a diversion, a break from routine
activities, but a way of getting the learner to
use the language in the course of the game.
Similarly, Jill Hadfield (1990) defined games
as “an activity with rules, a goal and an
element of fun.” （是一种有规则、有目标和
有趣味的活动。）
What are games ?
Therefore, games involve many factors:
rules（规则）, competition（竞赛）,
relaxation（放松）, and learning（学习）, in
particular. The main focus of using game in
class is to help students learn and have fun.
教学游戏：是指围绕教学目标将游戏形式融于教学之
中的教学活动类型 。
不仅是为了玩，目的是让学生在玩的过程中，
运用所学的语言、进行互动交际。（创设有意义语言
操练、交际活动。）

Types of games ：游戏的分类
Two types of games in the classroom.
• One kind stresses accuracy which is
called language-focused games 语言
训练目的的游戏
* and the other kind stresses fluency,
which is called communicationfocused games. 交际目的的游戏
Task 2
Make a list of the games you know and think
about which are language-focused games and
which are communication-focused games.
Language-focused
games
Bingo game
Chinese whisper,
Musical chairs,
guessing game,
Simon says,
I spy with my little
eye something…,
Communication-focused
games
Describe
and
draw:
learners work in pairs with
one describing a picture
while another one listens
and draws the picture.
spot the differences,
rearrange and describe
Differences of the two types of games
Language-focused games are developed to
reinforce specific grammar points (vocabulary
and structure, etc.) 巩固训练某项语言知识点
Communication-focused games are designed to
encourage the creative and spontaneous use of
language. 目的在于鼓励学生尝试有创意地、主
动地运用所学语言。
In language-focused games teacher has more
control in terms of what language point is practiced,
while in communication-focused games it is hard to
predict what specific language learners might use.
语言训练游戏教师能够较好控制学习语言；而交际性
游戏则较难预测具体会使用到的语言。
The language requirement of the communicationfocused games is more advanced than that of
language-focused ones, because these games are
intended on the overall language ability of learners.
由于交际性游戏着重学生综合语言能力的运用，因而，
这类游戏的语言要求比语言训练游戏更高级些。
Generally communication-focused will come
later than the language-focused ones.
However, this does not mean that
communication-focused games are better
than language-focused ones only because
they are more advanced.
When new language points are introduced
language-focused games are very necessary
before more challenging activities could be
successfully carried out.
