Motivation is the key to success when teaching a Foreign Language. However, there are
other aspects that influence the learning process of our students, as for instance the
methodology used, which is in fact strongly related to motivation. In order to keep
students motivated, the teacher needs to look for new methodologies with the aim of
refreshing how the contents are taught.
Group work implementation in the Foreign Language class has been disregarded
by teachers in most public schools of Spain, despite the fact that working in groups
offers an incredible amount of advantages for young learners. In addition to group
work, games in the EFL classroom are non-existent in the curriculum, and can only be
found whenever holidays are around the corner and teachers decide to do a different
and funnier class. This has led to an association of games being nothing but a resource
to do a funny class, disregarding the educational approach of games.
This study analyses the response of students of two different groups of 1st year
of ESO to the substitution of their textbook for original materials and the
implementation of group work and games in the sessions.
The essay is divided in four parts. The first one provides a theoretical
background for the study, where theories regarding group work and the use of games in
the FL classroom are exposed. The second part of the essay states how the
implementation was done regarding evaluation, scheduling and grouping of the
students. Thirdly, the activities are detailed with regards to objectives, methodology,
contents, development and assessment of each one of the activities. The last part of this
essay contains the conclusion of the analysis, where evidence shows that group work
and games enhance motivation and accelerate the learning process. [-]
