Utilizing Game-based Learning to Develop Vocabulary Knowledge: Utilizing Game Words Minoo Alemi

The use of games in the language classroom has been valued and appreciated in EFL/ESL contexts during the past decades. The teachers who believe in games argue that the students get so involved and excited that they may forget they are learning. ?The games are a form of teaching which may be used in circumstances where ordinary approaches are not well tolerated; when attention is hard to get and harder to keep?
