TEACHING ACTION VERBS WITH HELP OF INTERACTIVE GAMES

Abstract

This thesis explores the effectiveness of using interactive games as a method for teaching action verbs to students in language learning classrooms. Action verbs are essential components of language comprehension and communication, yet traditional approaches often fail to engage students or solidify their understanding of these foundational concepts. Interactive games offer a dynamic alternative, providing students with hands-on, contextualized learning experiences that enhance engagement and retention. Through activities such as charades, role-playing, and digital simulations, students actively participate in learning, encouraging natural usage of action verbs in context. This approach promotes active learning, aids memory retention, and builds confidence in language use. Findings from this study suggest that interactive games improve students' grasp of action verbs and encourage positive attitudes toward language learning. Recommendations are provided for teachers seeking to integrate game-based learning into their lesson plans to foster effective and enjoyable language education.
