Games
The Definition Of Games
However, if students can recognize and spell an item correctly, they probably also know what it means, it is extremely difficult to perceive, let alone spell, a word that the teacher does not know. But testers may be able to write down acceptable items that are not, in fact, the originals or what the teacher attended. g) Translation. Translation can test all aspects of items, but there is the usual difficulty in finding exact equivalents in different languages and it can be difficult to mark.
A game is an activity in which participants follow prescribed rules that differ from those in real life as they strive to achieve a challenging goal62. Furthermore, Andrew Wright states that play is an activity that is fun and engaging, often challenging, and an activity in which students play and usually interact with others63.
