About games.
A game is an activity with
rules, a goal and an element of fun.
There are two kinds of games:
competitive games, in which players or teams race to be the first to reach the
goal, and cooperative games, in which players or teams work together towards a
common goal. Both kinds are featured in this book.
The activities in this book
fall into two types: linguistic games and communicative games. In linguistic
games, the goal of the games is linguistic accuracy, i.e. producing a correct
structure.
Communicative games, however,
are activities with goal or aim that is not linguistic. Successful completion
of the game will involve the carrying out of a task such as drawing in a route
on a map, filling in a chart, or finding two matching pictures, rather than the
correct production of a structure.
However, in order to carry out
this task it will be necessary to use language, and by careful construction of
the task it will be possible to specify in advance what language will be required.
