Games as Teaching Tools for Teaching English

I think that a student is always a student no matter how old he / she is. Students learn best when they have the feeling that they can achieve. This happens when the atmosphere in the classroom facilitates it. There is a variety of activities that create this kind of atmosphere - games are only one of them. Playing a game is a great opportunity to repeat the material in a way which is encouraging and not intimidating. If you add the element of challenge and competition into it you cater to the needs of a larger range of students and learning techniques which suit them. Let them have fun and see what it will do to their achievements.
