Abstract

Engagement of students in the learning process seems to be a crucial element of a successful teaching/learning process. Practising and reinforcing language skills belong to the most essential and important parts in foreign language education. Carefully prepared study materials play a very important role in the teaching/learning process. Special attention must be paid when teachers consider and choose study materials for adult learners, whose memory mechanisms are not so reliable and fail more often than at early age. In addition to this, if students deal with a task in an interesting and enjoyable way, they can recall the explained subject matter much more easily and, even more, their engagement is supported and keeps progressing. In the paper we firstly devote the attention to the role of various games and puzzles as a useful and innovative study material in teaching and learning English language. Secondly, we focus on mastering some problematic grammar issues of English language from the Czech student?s point of view. The aim of the paper is to introduce our approach to other pedagogues. This approach can serve them as a good inspiration when they teach a foreign language.
