Description

WHY OH WHY?

Why use logic puzzles and word games to teach English? Four reasons, all based pedagogical principles.

  • Solving logic puzzles and word games – especially those that do not involve complex math – utilizes knowledge which students developed in their first language. Thus, problem solving in English links to prior knowledge, an attribute thought to be part of an effective teaching strategy.
  • Solving logic puzzles is consistent with task based learning, an accepted teaching methodology.
  • Puzzles promote vocabulary acquisition by activating deep processing.
  • Puzzles and games are fun. (Trust me, this one is in the teaching principles text book. I checked.)
  • Teachers with access to a classroom computer and projector might appreciate the time-saving quality of this ebook. Put the ebook on a USB and you have a portable resource that eliminates time-consuming photocopying./li>
