The game and activities discussed here based on some of the skills and instincts a young child brings to learning a foreign at school are all intended to encourage real language use and to develope confidence and willingness to have a go.
In Korea where each of elementary school has usually large size of class, the considerations of stir/settle, the concepts of mental engagement and actual occupation will help us to evaluate the game and activities offered in textbooks of elementary English classroom, and to improve the general atmosphere of the classroom.
Preparation load by teachers can be lessened through the variety of work, reuse of materials, reuse of a core of ideas, and new verses of chant and song, helping children feel their competence being built up.
The follow up study, it is hoped, will be concerned with analyzing the games and activities in the English textbook of Elementary school.
