4.2.3 Cross analysis of the results
As we can see in the data we can say that the teachers of
English in Senegal use songs and games in their classes in their daily
activities. This can be accounted for by the fact students tell that they do
them frequently with teachers. Songs and games really permit real life
situations.
Teachers use songs and games in their classes for various and
different reasons. There are some teachers who use them for grammatical
purpose; others use them for vocabulary reasons and some others for just fun.
It still remains that teachers perform them to achieve their aims. Teachers as
well as students find songs and games very interesting and motivating because
they can draw lots of information on them. According to the teachers songs and
games help students to master in a very quickly way for instance the nouns of
animals. In this respect they are very informative and constructive. Even if
some teachers find sometimes designing songs and games can be a tedious task to
perform; students fully appreciate games in class as they find them
pleasurable. We notice today that songs and games are performed through pair
work or group work in order to increase participation of students and prevent
at the same time inhibition.
When making a cross analysis of results we see that teachers
and students have nearly the same opinion as far as the questions they are
asked are concerned. They all acknowledge that songs and games are really
important and vital to English Language Teaching.
