Download or read book A Guide to Puzzles and Games in Second Language Pedagogy written by Marcel Danesi and published by Toronto, Ont. : OISE Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide presents, discusses and describes a selection of games and puzzles for school second language instruction. The first chapter discusses the value of these activities in language teaching, including the psychology of problem-solving, the process of motivating and involving students, three key questions to ask about games in the classroom (What constitutes their enjoyment? What role does the teacher play? What evidence exists to show they are effective?), and literature on using them. Subsequent chapters outline the characteristics of puzzles and games in terms of three general language instruction objectives: knowledge of specifics, knowledge of entire messages, and development of communication skills. The activities listed include discrete-point puzzles (scrambled letters and words, crosswords, word searches, word tic-tac-toe, word mazes, match-ups, cryptograms, associations, word-wheels, and visual puzzles), global puzzles (riddles, word tricks, logic problems, and mathematical puzzles), and interactional games (games and classroom communication, games based on discrete-point/global puzzles, well-known games, and teacher-made games of any type). A list of references is also included. (MSE)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning a new language can be very demanding, but it can also be good fun, and in between the hard work of language acquisition there are opportunities for breaks from the regular classroom routine where what has been learned is put to rewarding and practical use. Games Language People Play provides teachers with a variety of language games to make the teaching and learning of a new language an occasion for enjoyable competitiveness. There are 110 games in all, ranging in level from Beginners to Advanced. Each game carries an indication of the language skill or combination of skills being employed -- reading, writing, listening, speaking -- and the optimal group size, from as few as 10 students to games suitable for classes of unlimited size. The game's instructional objective -- for example, vocabulary expansion -- the materials needed, a full description and additional suggestions are all provided, with all that remains being for you and your class to enjoy the wonderfully creative ideas that Jerry Steinberg has put into book form for you. Originally published more than 20 years ago, Games Language People Play has continued to delight teachers and students of English every year since then.

Download or read book A Case for Psycholinguistic Cases written by Gabriela Appel and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprises ten papers presented as plenary lectures on the occasion of the Second World Congress of the International Society of Applied Psycholinguistics (ISAPL) at the University of Kassel, Germany, from July 27 — 31, 1987. The articles collected in this volume focus on the production, comprehension, and acquisition of languages from various empirical and theoretical points of view. This volume is case-based in that it does not claim to cover the full range of present-day psycholinguistic enquiry. It attempts, though, to make a case out of a representational variety of psycholinguistic phenomena, which might provide a window on a unified theory of language production, comprehension, and acquisition. From this perspective this volume aims at the presentation and discussion of various cases which, through analogical reasoning, may serve to shed light on and to solve new cases.
