Ludičke aktivnosti u nastavi španskog jezika

Abstract

This paper aims at emphasising the importance of ludic activities in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. There are many advantages of applying ludic ac- tivities in Spanish language teaching. Due to a real context that can be achieved by ludic activities, students have the opportunity to use the target language directly. They improve their motivation, creativity and team work, and practice many different language skills. The adequate application of ludic activities is essential. It is very important for teachers to prepare the lesson plan properly. They should keep in mind factors such as the level of knowledge, the age and intеrests of their students. There are a number of manuals and web sites that can help teachers organize ludic activities in teaching. Considering the fact that ludic activities in Spanish language teaching in Serbia have not been sufficiently researched, we conducted a survey to examine the attitudes of Spanish language teachers on this topic. Teachers’ attitudes towards ludic activities have been shown to be positive. Some teachers stressed the need of organizing seminars and trainings. The results of the survey can serve as the basis for further research in this field and more attention should be paid to this topic.
