Teacher’s Perspective on the Use of Games in English
Teaching& Learning Process: A study at Bethany Elementary
School
Abstract
Recently, games are widly used by teachers in teaching and learning
process since games are one of the important tools in EFL as stated by
McCallum (1980) and Mubaslat (2012). Through this study, the writer
investigated the teachers‟ perception toward the use of games in teaching
English for young learners and types of games used by the teachers. This
study was conducted in the first and the second grade of Bethany Elementary
School Salatiga, with two participants of English teachers. Observation and

interviews were used as instruments of data collection. The findings show that
there were six types of games, which are Order; Connect: compare, match,
group; Do: move, mime, draw, obey; Remember; Identify: discriminate,
guess, speculate and Create found used by the teachers. In addition, the

findings also indicate that teachers have positive perception towards games,
since they can contribute to improve the students‟ language skills, build their
grammar understanding, engage the students to learn the lesson, help them to
expand their vocabulary and help the teachers to see the students‟ actual
ability. However, the observed teachers also view that games can be boring
and time consuming. Games are also demanding in terms of background
knowledge and giving difficulty for the teachers to control the classroom
management. Therefore, the observed teachers gave some sugggestion to
minimize the problems.
Keywords: teachers’ perception, games, teaching English.
