Abstract

Grammar is the structural foundation of any language and it empowers the learner’s communicative ability. The more we are aware of how it works, the more we can monitor the meaning and effectiveness of the way we and others use the language. Grammar can help foster precision, detect ambiguity, and exploit the richness of expression available in English. But our students hesitate to learn English Grammar. Young learners love to play and they participate in a game with more enthusiasm and willingness than in any other classroom task. Children in general learn better when they are active. If games are properly designed, they may become an excellent and essential part of children’s learning programme. It also helps every teacher of English in making the teaching learning process more effective and entertaining. This paper aimed at finding the effectiveness of language games in learning English grammar. The data analysis results reveal evidently the significance of language games in teaching English Grammar.
