Games,+Team+Activities,+Competitions

== //**The enjoyment that comes from having fun in the classroom may lower students' affective filters, resulting in their increased willingness to take risks in using English. Games and team activities can also provide a chance for community-building and the opportunity for students to practice grammar structures and vocabulary they have been taught in carrying out authentic communicative tasks, such as clarifying and negotiating meaning. **// == ==//**Donna Price of the San Diego Community College Continuing Education Program made a presentation on Game-like Activities to Practice ESL Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing at the national TESOL Convention last spring, with many tried-and-true activities that have been used successfully with adult ESL learners. She has graciously shared a handout here on this wiki (click the link on the left navigation panel to download). **//== == //**What is a favorite game, team activity, or competition that you have used successfully with your classes? What are the benefits of using these types of activities? **// ==
