2.2. Using story telling and media in teaching English grammar
Using games.
Using games is a very interesting method of teaching for students, in
particular young ones (Danarti, 2008). They generally tend to like and play gamesbetter than sitting down to study. Traditional methods dictated for study andgames to be separate but the fact remains that the students tend to be more
interested in playing games rather than sitting down to study. Learning with
games will usually be engaging for the students (Anburaj, 2014).
The games can be utilized to learn grammar. To understand the meaning of
a particular structural pattern and to use them in day to day life is a very difficult
task and games can help the students overcome this difficulty. Games like
scrabble, housie etc. have been designed for this specific purpose. These games
are just based on words and help the students develop their vocabulary as well. InInnovative Techniques of Teaching English Grammar at Secondary Schools

addition to these very simple games can be played to help improve the word
database of the students such as simple dictation competitions, synonym
competitions, words puzzles, anagrams and hangman (Anburaj, 2014).
Fischer (2012) suggests several techniques and technological tools are used
in his classes to help students learn to utilize and integrate grammar points and
skills. First, the students are introduced to set expressions that allow them to
initiate communication with one another. Then they are introduced to the verbs
and adjectives that are typically used to reveal nationality, profession, personalitytraits, size). They have many opportunities to practice the grammar point orallyand in writing. Once they have had some practice, the students are taken to the labto complete the assignment using e-cards in a site and complete it during their labhour. After they access the site they work on the assignment using the grammarpoint. In this case, they are required to describe themselves in an e-card to a newfriend. Then they send the e-cards their teacher for grading as a writing exercise.
