Drawing on key theories of second language acquisition, including the relationship between communication, interaction, and language learning, the paper explores how language games can reduce foreign language anxiety (FLA) and encourage active participation. The study focuses on learners aged 12 to 15 and aims to evaluate the effectiveness of language games in increasing oral language production, particularly in vocabulary and fluency. While this paper offers a comprehensive theoretical framework, the study cannot be conducted due to current limitations, leaving room for future research.
