Hyacinth Gaudart
University of Malaya
In Malaysia, some student teachers are trained specifically to teach English to speakers whose native language is not English. This article discusses the introduction of games as a teaching tool that student teachers can use when teaching English to speakers of other languages. The article describes some of the games that have been tried and tested, reactions of the student teachers to the games, and some of the problems that student teachers will face when attempting to use games in secondary schools in Malaysia.
