Another theme which emerged from the study is that effective interaction occurs
through using games and activities. Moon (2000) states that “(Interaction) is the main
source of language input” (p.73). Through my observation, I noticed that while students
completed the games and activities, they talked about the activity and how they can do
it, but I rarely heard them chat with peers. “I was listening to their conversations and I
was hearing the target language being used a lot”, I noted in my observation. My
observation is supported by my mentor teacher and my peers’ observations, who
commented that students talked with each other about the games, and they clarified
complicated things. This is also supported by the students’ interviews in which most of
them have said that they talk about the activity, whether asking their classmates what
to do, or asking what a specific word means. “I talk with my friends about the games or
about new words. Sometimes I ask my friends what we have to do”. According to my
overall data, it seems that the games played in the lesson enabled students to assist
each other with how they can complete them, clarify difficult points, translate difficult
meanings, or share their ideas about the topic
