 the average player age in the US is 30,
 the average game buyer age in the US is 35,
 there is no statistical correlation between violence
and video game consumption.
… the longest time of playing computer game amounts
135 hours.
… in some counrties such as South Korea there are
departments dealing with game addiction (in
Korea about 2% of children aged 11 – 16 is addicted to
games).
… in Korea a game addiction of a couple to a game called
Prius Online led to a death of a baby due to parental
neglect. Paradoxically, the parents were taking care of a
virtual child while their baby was starving to death.

70% regularly check game’s rating before a
purchase.
93% of parents monitor content of their children
games.
1. How often do students play games?
We have conducted a questionaire concerning games in our school. Students, teachers and parents were aked questions
about games.
We asked twenty students from our lower high school a questionaire about playing games. As we can see from the data boys
tend to play games more often than girls.
2. Where do students usually play games?
The data that we show the most frequently mentioned place is home. It is worth noticing
that students hardly ever play games at school (during the lesson), which is a shame.
3. Who do students play the games with?
Girls prefer playing with their families(60%) or with somebody who is nearby (70%). The most
favourable way of playing games in case of boys is playing with online gamers (80%).
4. Why do students play games?
We also wanted to know what’s the reason students play games so
frequently. Both boys and girls claim that playing games is a kind of
relaxation after school (80% of respondents altogether). Only some
students use games to learn something new (15% of all respondents).
5. What languages are the games students play in?
 It’s wondering that in the contrary to girls who prefer playing games in a mother tongue,
all of male respondents answered that the preferable language of a game they play is
English. Only one person mentioned about playing games in a different language than
Polish orEnglish.
6. What are students favourite games?
• The most frequently mentioned names of games in the questionaire were
connected with board games and role-playing games in case of girls (The
Sims, Monopoly) while boys are more likely to play action, sports, strategy
or shooter games. To some extent the tendency is similar in the USA, which
is shown by the statistics from 2013 prepared by ESA.
7. Do teachers play games with students
during the lesson?
We have asked this question teachers
of primary education as well as
teachers of a lower high school. 60%
of respondents use games during
their lessons.

In 2012 Berland conductued a questionaire with
teachers, students and their parents about the
role oftechnlogy in education. According to
Berland, almost 75% of his respondents claim
that they use games several times a week or at
least once a week. There were only 3% of
teachers who don’t use games during lessons.
 As far as types of games are
concerned, all the teachers who took
part in the survey admitted using
educational games in class. More
than half of them (60%)say they
play card games, whereas two out of
ten respondents claim that playing
board, comuter and viedeo games
may be beneficial while teaching
their subjects.
9. How often do teachers use the games during the
lesson?
The statisctics gathered by Berland for Dell company in 2012
show that the frequency of using games depends on a taught
subject. English is the second subject after Technology where
games are used by teachers.
Two of them often use games as a tool
of teaching something new. Another
30% of respondents sometimes make
use of them while one of them hardly
ever takes advantage of such games.

10. What is teachers’ opinion
about using games?
Most teachers claim that such
activities
Distract students. An equal percentage
of teachers express their opinion that
games are useful but at the same time
it is difficult to keep students
concentrated. Only 20% say that
because of the games it is difficult to
maintain students’ proper behaviour.

The last question concerned the obstacles which
teachers may meet when they want to
introduce games during the lesson. In their
opinion, the problems such as lack of proper
equipment as well as parents’ disapproval are
of similar importance.
From the data from the pool commissioned by
Dell company and conducted by Penn Schoen
Berland in the US, China and Germany in 2012
show that teachers have to struggle with the
following problems while integrating games
into a lesson unit:
intergrating with curriculum,
insufficient availability of computers,
negative attitudes toward games,
lack of time,
lacking information and support,
inappropriate behaviour of children,
technical problems.

Parents’ response …
70% of parents answered that the
games should be used at school
while 30% of respondents were of
the opposite idea.

Perfect Teacher
• Contrary to appearances,
students like discipline.
• It would be good if
teachers paid attention to
pronunciation because
most students know
grammar well but they
have problems with
communication.
• If someone has a different
accent for example
American, Irish or Scottish
teachers should accept it.
Perfect beginning
• We think that teachers
should start lessons by
repeating all the things from
the previous lesson, for
example play games like
throwing a ball to someone
or something similar
• teachers shouldn’t do short
tests without informing us in
advance.
• If teachers want to check
students’knowlege they can
ask a few questions at the
desk.
Perfect development of the lesson
• First, teachers should check
homework.
• Then they should introduce
new material and write down
the most important points.
• Then students should do
exercises conncted with the
topic.
• Next students can work in
groups and present
something in front of the
group.
Perfect ending
• After that students can do
listening and speaking. It’s so
important to learn a language
which people use daily, in life.
• at the end of the lesson students
should repeat material from the
lesson
• teachers can give short
homework for consolidation.
• Teachers can reward students
with pluses or give minuses for
participation during the lesson.
Large gyms where you can practise many
sports
Classes should be large and
spacious
Computer labs should be equipped with
modern computers
In corridors there should be enough lockers for
everyone
Corridors should have access to light and fresh air
In corridors there should be enough space for all
students
A good school is a place where comfortable
couches are provided for studying and resting
A large library should have all the books needed
A big canteen is a must
A perfect school viewed from the sky
Our classes should be more modern with more
electronic equipment. Every teenager could focus on
modern things e.g tablets, projectors etc.
We should have more space in classes. Our tables could
be single as you can see here.
The teacher should stand
on the platform so that we
can see better.
Technology is extremely important
Language board
Classes should be tailored to individual subjects.
Classes should be provided with books, stationery
items,some maps and language boards which would
facilitate learning.
maps
Books
dictionaries

has positive attitude and sence of humor
students don’t like when teachers are malice and
injustice
we like dyscypline in the lesson
it is good to summarsing new material and play

 it is very important for us to have a school shop, free

 teenagers want speak only English during the English
lessons
 we think that division of advanced is a good way
 teacher should practises speaking in english the most
