Reducing Cognitive Overload among Students through Language Games

Kala Chandrasekaran, M.A., B.Ed., PGCTE (CIEFL), M.Phil.

We Need to Adopt New Methods

In a globalised world where success in work depends to a great extent on one’s communication skills, the modern English teacher needs to provide able support in the form of materials and tasks that will help students of engineering and technology develop their communication skills.

The teacher’s objective should be to develop suitable teaching methodology for students of engineering and technology who find the conventional methods of teaching irrelevant and moribund. It is indeed a challenge to the teacher to change teaching methods according to the varied and diverse learner abilities and knowledge.

Students look for learning strategies which have high interest value and matter which can be rapidly assimilated. The linguistic skills of students should be developed by laying a greater emphasis on accuracy on grammar, vocabulary, genres of writing, and mechanics such as spelling and pronunciation.

If students are encouraged to play vocabulary enrichment games in a non-threatening environment, their interest in language learning is kindled.
