Even monster dolls play a role in language learning in my English lessons in Istanbul. Realia such as toys inspire holistic language while playing with the toys cultivates the kinesthetic learning style. When my student Rita, 8, brings her monster doll to our lesson, I challenge her to describe the doll in a 100 ways. At first, she says this sounds too tough, maybe impossible. But she soon realizes how much she would like to say about her doll and rises to the challenge. Imagination games bring out the best of creativity. These authentic, free response tasks contribute to a more interactive, effective and enjoyable lesson. Let's play together :)
