| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this research is to investigate students’ perception on using games in
vocabulary learning at MAN 3 Sleman. The participants were one male of X-IPA
3, one female of X-IPA 3, and one female of X-IPA 1. This research was
investigated by using descriptive of qualitative research. The data were collected
from observation field notes, interviews, and documentations. All data were
collected based on Lindsay & Norman (1972) for theory about perception, and
Hadfield (1999) which is about the types of games. The focus of the investigation
were reinforcement as a signal, learning by awareness, learning by experimentation,
and importance of expectation in perception and collaborative games and
competitive games as the types of games. This research revealed that games is a
meaningful way in language learning because games can reduce negative feelings
during the learning process. The implication is teachers should consider the
integration of games in language learning and the types of games | en_US |
