The title of the article reviewed was “using games to teach young children English
language”. The core concern which has been addressed in this study was using games in the
classroom during English language learning sessions. Nowadays, language games are
designed to fulfil the learning objectives. All types of games may be used in an educational
environment. Games already have reached popularity among educators to meet learning
needs of pupils. When it comes down to learning atmosphere of children, it is nearly
impossible to separate playing from learning.

By playing a game pupils may be able to understand new concept during learning
process. There are numerous skills that learners can develop through using games such as
critical thinking, skills, creativity, teamwork and so on. Like any educational tool, they need
to be well planned and inculcated to meet the positive learning outcomes.

Since learning style is changing day by day, teachers keep altering their teaching
approaches and tactics. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to observe the
effectiveness of using games in the classroom. Integration of games in learning sessions
encourage creativity and spontaneous usage of the language. Since teachers understand that
young children have pretty short attention span and their main purpose of using games is to
provide fun and focused learning. Mixed research methods have been selected for data
collection process in this particular study to answer the research questions.

Since two different categories of methodology were used, it indicates that two
different types of data were also received. The first section contains general questions
concerning the academic background. The second section is included questions about
inculcation of games in classrooms. Then, last section focuses on effectiveness of the games
as teaching tools. The results obtained in both ‘Quantitative Data Analysis’ and ‘Qualitative
Data Analysis’ proved that teachers accept games as effective tools for teaching English
language to young children. Therefore, we can conclude that language games are great
alternative for children who do not learn best through traditional method.
