IMPROVING MOTIVATION THROUGH THE GAME

After the growing importance of Bilingual schools in Murcia and the implementation of subjects like Sciences or Arts and Crafts, being these subjects the same as Conocimiento del Medio Natural, Social y Cultural and Educación artística, with the only difference that these new ones are taught in the English language. We can observe how most of the current teachers dont feel comfortable when teaching these new subjects, their students have lost their motivation towards these ones and English language acts as a barrier in the teaching-learning process.

With this change, different resources, methodologies and initiatives appear, making it easier to teach these subjects, however, despite their usefulness, these are not generally present in the classrooms.

 

The main objective of this paper is to verify how the use of games inside the classroom, despite what it is thought, and apart from being a playful activity is also an important teaching tool.
