Types of Bingo This presentation looks at three main types of

Bingo games:

Listening Bingo games (passive, static, one-way, instructional, individual, receptive, information gap activities);

Speaking Bingo games (active, dynamic, two-way, communicative, group, cognitive, language-performance and information transfer activities);

Self-made Bingo games (active, dynamic, two-way, interactive, group, cognitive, collaborative, language-performance, problem-solving and critical thinking).

2. Speaking Bingo• Speaking Bingo games encourage students

to communicate with each other. They encourage learners to listen and speak, and they can be funny.

• Bingo is now used in an interactive way, introducing and reviewing language in an investigative ‘learner-directed’ manner.

• The input and the outcome is up to the player, rather than the individual Bingo card.

• Speaking Bingo is open and flexible. It can use any linguistic items, topics, functions or skills as its source materials.

• Each player chooses a person to speak to and takes the responsibility for the result.

• The games are performed in a real communicative setting.

• There is no limit to the exercising of linguistic skills - listening, speaking, reading, writing and comprehending!

3. Self-Made Bingo:

• In listening and speaking Bingo the master cards and players’ Bingo cards are prepared by the teacher. Hence, the learners are not actively involved until the performance stage.

• Because of this, both categories can be said to be lacking in terms of learner-centred qualities.

• If we wish students to learn meaningfully and effectively, however, it is important that we involve them in the entire process of language learning.

• It follows, therefore, that the teacher should encourage learners to participate in preparing Bingo game cards and in making the rules.

3. Self-Made Bingo:

• When learners play Bingo games with cards made by themselves, in self-made Bingo games, they achieve a sense of purpose, ownership and meaning.

• This promotes confidence, motivation and responsibility for learning.

• The active making of Bingo activities by students is a desirable educational event.

• This can lead to excellent follow-on activities such as:– devising and writing the rules for their activity

– explaining their activity to other groups

– making a PowerPoint presentation about their activity.

3. Self-Made Bingo

When we give students the tools to become autonomous learners:

• There is a resulting increase in enthusiasm for learning (Littlejohn, 1985).

• Personal involvement in decision making leads to more effective learning (Dickinson, 1995, p.165).

• When the learner sets the agenda, learning is more focused, purposeful, and effective (Little, 1991; Holec, 1981; Dickinson, 1987).

• When responsibility for the learning process lies with the learner, the barriers to learning and living that are often found in traditional teacher-led classes need not arise (Little, 1991; Holec, 1981; Dickinson, 1987).
