Abstract

In this paper we present part of the research done for the purposes of a doctoral thesis in the field of English language teaching (ELT). In it we show the comments and opinions of students who were exposed to revising grammar and vocabulary through educational games. These students were all attending English as a subsidiary at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade. Their comments were analyzed, categorized and then interpreted. The comments included student statements on why they liked or disliked certain games, and their suggestions on how certain games could be improved. Some actual samples of these comments are also provided to better illustrate their positions and views when it comes to using games in learning a foreign language.
