One of these advantages is that learners are motivated to learn the language when they are in a game. McCallum (1980, p. ix) emphasizes this point by suggesting that “games automatically stimulate student interest, a properly introduced game can be one of the highest motivating techniques.” Avedon (1971; Quoted in Deesri, 2002, p. 2) further argues that “games spur motivation and students get very absorbed in the competitive aspects of the games; moreover, they try harder at games than in other courses”. In other words, games stimulate students’ interest in classroom activities and as a result, students become motivated and willing to learn.
