- Abstract
In search of innovation, integration of table-top games in EFL classrooms has been a sensation in recent decades. The author, who has three years of experience in integrating Party Card Games (PCG) in EFL classes, examined the overlapping nature of PCG and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and provided strategies for integration of the two as an innovative teaching practice. Explicit links were drawn between the characteristics of PCG and the teaching philosophy proposed by CLT. An example lesson plan has been provided to demonstrate the aspects of teaching and extra support that teachers should pay attention to while adopting PCG in class in terms of inducing desired learner-learner interaction and increasing motivation. The author also adopted the model proposed by Selfdetermination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2017) to provide strategies that allow teachers to support learners' motivation through the use of PCG.
