Abstract
Abstract The aim of this study is to determine the effect of learning through games on Kazakh students' learning Turkish words as a foreign language. It is difficult to learn a second language without vocabulary. In this context, when teaching Turkey Turkish to cognate peoples, the pronunciation of the words should be especially emphasized because there are differences in their pronunciation since they have the same origin. When teaching Turkey Turkish to native Kazakh speakers, attention should be paid to the phonetic features resulting from the pronunciation of words. It is possible to eliminate pronunciation differences while teaching Turkish words to native Kazakh speakers through games. Games are areas where every student adds something emotionally and connects. The subject you want to explain or teach can be achieved very easily, without getting tired, with the help of games. While teaching vocabulary to A1-A2 level students whose native language is Kazakh, the teacher used games related to the subject and tried to measure the memorability of the learned words in this research. In the study, a case study, one of the qualitative research designs, was used and the data was obtained through observation. Data was collected through five different games called Kahoot!, What's That?, Silent Cinema, Select-Match and Hidden Words, which were applied to the students for 4 weeks. According to the findings, it was observed that Kazakh students willingly learned Turkish words faster through games. It was concluded that the use of games is effective in teaching foreign language Turkish vocabulary to Kazakh students. Key words: Turkish as a foreign language, Kazakh, game, word, teaching
