Dear Ina,
BalasHapusIt is a very good idea of how to teach grammar, I believe the students will be so much motivated. I would like to know how to do or create that, too. How would this study contribute its idea or its findings to your writing? It is better if you could include the relationship of this study with your writing even just in a sentence.
Anyway, best of luck with your professional writing!
Best,
Anisa
Thanks for the comment, Anisa. It is such great questions.
HapusFor the first question, How to do board game. The concept of the game is similar to snake and ladder game where the winner will be the first person who reaches the finish box. The students will be given a board game, a dice and indicators to play with the game. Unlike the snake and ladder games, the board game consists of sentences from various tenses which are all grammatically incorrect. The player has to correct the sentences on the board as he moves forward. Every time the player stops, he will have to correct the sentence. If he gets it right, he will have to throw the dice again and continue with the game. If he gets it wrong, he will have to stop and another player will take his turn. The main aim of the game is to let the students to figure the errors from the sentence construction on their own and try to correct them. For instance one example of the sentence is "water is boiling at 100 degree Celsius". It is incorrect. Here since the statement is about fact, the sentence should be in present form "water boils at 100 degree Celsius".
Next, It is great suggestion Anisa, Thanks for that. My writing is about using android game to improve grammar mastery. I found it related to this article on how to use game in grammar. So that, I searched for the related review about it.
That's wonderful, girl! Go for that! :)
