THE USE OF SHOW AND TELL GAMES IN ENHANCING SPEAKING ENGLISH LEARNING FOR YOUNG LEARNERS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Keywords:
English Language Learning, Speaking Skills, Show-and-Tell GameAbstract
English learning relies heavily on speaking skills. However, students often face various obstacles, such as a lack of vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and lack of confidence. This study examines the use of show-and-tell games to address these issues and improve students' speaking skills. By evaluating several journal articles published between 2018 and 2024, thirty (30) papers were identified as meeting the eligibility criteria for this study by PRISMA 2020. The results showed that the show-and-tell game effectively improved students' confidence, engagement, and comprehension skills. This activity makes learning English more fun and interactive, thus creating a more supportive and dynamic learning environment. Thus, show-and-tell games have become a very beneficial method in English learning, providing opportunities for students to learn more actively and confidently.
