ABSTRACT

It has long been known that play allows students to discover their capabilities in an immediate environment. Many famous teachers and psychologists have spoken and continue to speak about the role of play in the learning process.  It is through play that children learn to assimilate social functions and norms of behaviour as games encourage development. The developmental significance of play is inherent in its very nature since play is always about emotions; and where there are emotions, there is activity, there is attention and imagination, there is thinking. The basis of teaching a foreign language is a game, which is a psychological justification for the transition to a new language of instruction.
The purpose of this article is to assess the methodology of using language games to develop lexical speaking skills.

Keywords: [language games, speaking skills, game typology, method of teaching a foreign language]
