Abstract

The use of competitive games in teaching English to young learners has attracted significant attention due to its dual nature, which can have both positive and negative effects on students’ learning experiences. Although many studies have discussed the impact of competitive gaming on learning outcomes, few studies specifically highlight teachers’ practices and perspectives in applying these games in the classroom, especially for young learners. This study aims to explore teachers’ practices and perspectives in using competitive games for teaching English to young learners. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this research was conducted in two Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) located in Pekalongan and Batang. The participants consisted of two English teachers who were selected based on specific criteria, namely teaching English to young learners and having previous experience in implementing competitive games in the classroom. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings of this study indicate that teachers’ practices in using competitive games involve a systematic and contextual implementation process. From a perspective dimension, teachers view competitive games as learning activities that require careful consideration, reflective assessment, and continuous adjustment to balance learning objectives and students’ emotional well-being. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how competitive games are applied in real classroom contexts and provides insights into teachers’ perspectives on the effective use of competitive games in teaching English to young learners.
