Abstract :
This study focused on the effect of using games on English grammar among young learners of English language in Iranian context. The design of this study was based on quasi-experimental method. The study consisted of two groups, namely an experimental and a control group. The participants took a pre-test on grammar at the beginning of the course. The experimental group experienced 24 sessions of grammar treatment via game-based instruction controlled by the researchers and performed by the members of the group and the learners in the control group dealt with the traditional program of learning grammar through explanation. Finally, both groups sat for a post-test and data were collected and analyzed through Independent Samples t-test analysis. The results showed that the participants in the experimental group outperformed the control group significantly. Implications of the study for teaching grammar are that learning grammar could be enhanced through enjoyment and fun.
