     The word game has been defined in different ways by many scholars and authors。

     Byrne (Byrne 1995) gave a definition of the game is that it’s a form of playing governed by rules。 

     “A well designed game is a activity, in which players engage in an abstract challenge, defined by rules, an interactivity and feedback that result in a quantifiable outcome often eliciting an emotional reaction。” (Kapp& Cone 2012)。 Because the whole team pull together during the game, a common goal can be achieved。 

     Similarly, in Foundation of Early Childhood Education: Teaching Three-, Four- and Five-year-old Children, (Spodek, Olivia, & Davis 1990), it is defined that “game is a variety of playing activities。 They are highly structured and include specific rules followed。”

     Nevertheless, it is easy for students to understand the teaching content by games。 Under some well-connected kinds of games, students can not only quickly fit in a relaxed and enjoyable English environment but also learn to express their ideas, communicative with others and enjoy the pleasure bought by the English class。

     In conclusion, the Game-based Teaching Approach is a new teaching method in which a wide range of teaching activities will be integrated into all aspects of English teaching by teachers。 For this reason, students can make great progress in learning English。 Actually, it’s a method that can cultivate students’ abilities。
