This booklet is for English as well as all language teachers and features the games, ice-breakers and tools that EVS Volunteer Seher Yumrutepe has used during her classes, international youth exchanges, learning camps for students and teacher
trainings.
Aims of the tool
This publication contains games, ice-breakers, energisers and tools useful for language teachers.
Description of the tool
The games, non-formal methods and various tools helps teachers get rid of the routine teaching time, warm up the students before the lesson, give students a break from the usual curriculum, use the time affectively when
there is a little time left to kill, to assess and summarize at the end of the teaching and last but not least, to make classes more interesting for students as games make learning more fun and fast. Teachers can use these games and non-formal methods for testing and teaching vocabulary, practicing conversation, learn tenses, improve syntax, making reading more fun,
listening attentively and so forth. It is no doubt that when teachers use games and non-formal methods where the students are active and responsible learners, the classes are sure to be more fun, active, energetic and challenging
which fosters learning.
