Özet

This  study  aims  to  determine  the  views  of  elementary  level  Turkish  EFL  learners  with  regard  to  learning 

Grammar  with  games.  Three  dimensions  were  discussed  in  the  study:  students’  assessment  of  learning 

grammar with games, their views about the challenges in the application process and their suggestions with 

regard  to  the  application.  This  case  study  was  conducted  on  49  students  at  the  Faculty  of  Education, 

Cumhuriyet University. The data was collected via semi-structured interviews to get profound insight about the 

students’ opinions. Descriptive analysis method was used for the analysis of the data obtained. As a result of 

the  study,  it  was  concluded  that  learning  grammar  with  games  was  effective  in  learning  English  in  that  it 

increased  students’  motivation,  changed  their  attitudes  to  English  classes  positively,  increased  their  self-

confidence  and  thus  led  to  better  and  more  retainable  learning  in  grammar  as  perceived  by  the  students

themselves and the researchers.
