Lonely Student, Oral Cloze and Four Corners Games for Teaching and Learning English

For the next fun games in teaching and learning  English are Lonely Student, Oral Cloze, and Four Corners. They are a simple game, however they will be an interesting English learning process for teachers and their students.

Lonely Student

• One student (or one student from each group) stands facing, the class.
• the teacher gives the rest of the class a word, which they then must explain to the student without saying the actual word.

   
Oral Cloze

• Choose a suitable text. Using texts from the course book that you have already read or listened to in class will help students revise recently learned vocabulary and structure.
• Before the lesson, read the text and choose the key words.
• Read the text but stop before a key word and get the students to guess what the word is going to be.
• At the end you can discuss the correct word the possible alternatives and what information and skills they used to choose the words.
• This is not only    also a great activity for practicing listening comprehension, but also helps practice identifying key information and builds students' prediction skills. Both of these skills are emphasised in the curriculum.

Four Corners

• Divide the class into learns or groups.
• In each corner of the room put a word. for example a preposition or a tense, past simple, present continuous, etc.
• Read a sentence (minus the preposition or tense) and a member from each group must run to the appropriate corner.
• In the example illustrated below. Team C has got the wrong answer
