Based on a study would be carried out , there are few studies dealing with the application of language games in the classroom was obtained as a reference . These studies inspire researchers to form their own methods to solve problems and improve practice PDP .

A study was conducted to focus on teaching and learning methods are used, for the purpose of increasing student attention and understanding of the subject matter presented by the teacher . Researchers also want to see the students do not get bored while studying instead make learning and teaching more attractive. Researchers want to change students' perceptions of the Malay language is a subject that fun and not boring , and subjects were always eagerly studied.

To that end , researchers have made reference to the studies that have been created by renowned researchers from within and outside the country who are experts in this field . Burst of scientific ideas and opinions of their very useful in helping to realize a more effective pdp attractive to pupils . Not possible with this method , students will produce a highly skilled and knowledgeable in the subject . They will finally be able to learn well in addition to smart interact and communicate with each other and the teachers and the people out there .

According to Tengku Sarina Aina and Yusmini ( 2006 ) , there are various methods that can be used in teaching and learning processes which are methods of memorization , lecture , lecture , question and answer , games , problem solving and so on . The game is a way to train students to acquire an information based on the implicit message behind the activities undertaken game .

If you look at the teaching and learning of the foregoing, I just explained using the image as a teaching aid . According to Abdul Ghafar (2003 ) study methods or conventional methods cause many students become bored with teaching and learning conducted by the teacher . Boredom that plagued our pupils do not make effective presentations and instructional content to be conveyed by the teacher to the student not fully up to the maximum . This situation has indirectly affect student understanding and attention to the content of the lesson

Therefore , researchers have been looking at alternative ways to relieve the boredom of students to teaching and learning. The chosen method is a method of game . According Shahabuddin , Rozaini and Mohd Zohir (2003 ) , a figure that is much discussed role to play in education is Froebel . According to him , play activities can improve learning skills among students. Primary level, children need to play to improve psychomotor skills and social skills . Games are used for each age varies depending on the maturity level of the students

Moreover, according to Rashidi and Abd Razak (1996 ) use the method of play is to add excitement to learning . The game also has certain characteristics . The most interesting feature in the game is to form the elements of competition and challenges in planned activities . This method can reduce the tedium normally associated with learning through teaching methods such as drills and lectures .

According to Devi Mayamalava Supiah and Che Nasir (2008 ) , the child is synonymous with play . Through play a child can develop their overall skills . For example , interpersonal skills embody the characteristics of learning through play and exploration highlights to stimulate their minds with the right way to development .

According Raghir Kaur (2007 ) to play a favorite activity because students can express their feelings and emotions happy . According to him , the method of the game consists of the activities carried out spontaneously , which leads to learning. One of the advantages of this method is that it provides an opportunity for students to learn while playing . There are several forms of activity in the game is like a game between the object realized, fantasy games , explore and play with the game taking part and mix again.

There are Islamic leaders who discussed the role play to children of Imam Al - Ghazali . Imam Al - Ghazali ( Hassan Langgulung , 1979) argues , focused playing for the student because the student can play develop their natural attitude in addition to a healthy body and strengthen the muscles .

He also noted the play can bring joy , relaxation for tired children after learning . Implementation of approaches to learning through play should be carried out taking into account the learning outcomes to be achieved and determined . Materials should also be appropriate and beneficial to the development of the student . Through this approach can also reinforce learning concepts common to control more specific .

According Shahabuddin , Rozaini and Mohd Zohir (2003 ) , among other figures which states about the need to play is Pieget . Pieget state can cause feelings fun game to students and to further encourage interaction and understanding to students. Games such as crossword puzzles , puzzle , puzzle , maze , find hidden items and the like are suitable for use in teaching and learning process .Jean Piaget , a famous philosopher and psychologist who hails from Switzerland , said that the most important component in the intellectual development of children involves engagement . When children are playing , do not forget that children are also being studied . Children learn best by studying something not only but also to experience something they have learned. In addition, the study would be better if by doing activities that are attractive to children .

ConclusionStrategies, methods and techniques used by teachers during the PDP in the classroom plays an important role in improving student understanding . We recognize that the failure of students in understanding a subject can not be based only on one factor only, weakness teachers teach. There are many other factors that cause students do not understand the teacher . Therefore, to solve this problem focus should be given to the methods, techniques and teaching strategies in the classroom to attract students to teaching .

Based on the literature review has been undertaken , there are so many studies related to the use of technical language games during PDP session . The studies carried out leading to the method used by teachers to help teachers improve their teaching methods in the classroom as well as attracting students to understand all the teaching .

According to experts in the field of child development, they believe play activities stimulate brain function that can foster the development of cognitive, social, emotional and physical development of children. During play, children interact with their peers and adults through discussion and question and answer.

Through play activities also, children are more focused with all matters relating to the activities undertaken game. Thus, the children get a meaningful learning experience and learning process better. Unfortunately, many parents and even teachers considered less important method of play and focuses on academic achievement.Environment can affect a person's character especially for children because at this stage, their patterns of thought or behavior is highly dependent on the environment around them there. Fun learning will attract students to study consistently and experience they gain will shape the development of the mind, personality and socially healthy themselves
