Abstract

The goal of this study is to find how interactive games can inspire pupils to teach English as a foreign language (EFL). Pre- post tests have been used as a tool for collecting data and given to 60. The pupils have been then divided into two groups of 30, one for control and the other for experimental. The experimental group received games during language. courses and classes, whereas the control group received traditional courses. This study found that most teachers believe games have a positive impact on pupils' achievement in learning English and that using games in the classroom has many educational benefits. Game participation also increased EFL learners' ability to communicate with others.
