Abstract: studying English may seem a tremendously time-consuming, arduous task for most people at first sight. However, if the methods that the teacher uses are eminently suitable, this process will take a turn for the immensely interesting for them.
Keywords: competitiveness, computer literacy, competitive capacity, adversarial approach.
The topic of teaching foreign languages with the latest innovative ideas and methods is becoming more and more important all over the world in this era of globalization as companies, organizations and individuals need the ability to communicate in a successful way. As a result, teachers have been bombarded with educational terminology such as "The State Standards," "Learning Assessments," "Academic Intervention Services," and "Competency Evaluation" lately [2].
While this is true that the new standards are necessary for some students who are not performing up to a specific standard, yet, through all of these assessments and evaluations, many teachers confess that the joy of teaching, the "fun in the classroom," has been slowly disappearing. Instead, pressure and stress for both teachers and their students have appeared. While it is important that children excel in their age to become successful as adults, they must be shielded from the mounting pressure by maintaining a balance between material and psychological growth. As a teacher, how often have you heard, or even said it yourself, "There is little time for anything else other than preparing students for all these assessments!" Concisely, we need to make learning fun again—both for teachers and, more importantly, for kids as learners. Plain and simple: Students love fun activities.
Because of the many and varied skills that teachers are asked to teach students each day, the classroom is an ideal place to incorporate fun activities to introduce and review the various language arts skills including grammar, mechanics, word development, vocabulary, research, critical thinking, and creative writing, to name just a few. Fun involvement is a wonderful way to achieve classroom goals and improve language arts skills at the same time. It can be believed that students' test scores suffer because teachers include some games and other enjoyable and worthwhile activities in their curriculum. However, studies support the fact that students retain more when they are actively involved or have "hands on" in the learning process.
Through such activities, students will certainly absorb more information as they learn, review, and retain concepts in classroom. Plus, they will be enjoying themselves at the same time which is an ideal way of combination.
It has been observed by specialists from time immemorial that competitiveness in the inner self of a person holds a tremendously momentous position especially in terms of
education and teaching languages. Before moving to the role of competitive capacity of a student, one has to identify what is effective language learning and what skills are associated with it. In studying any foreign language starting from English, six main skills such as listening, reading, writing, speaking, vocabulary and grammar should be maintained equally while memory and the interest of a student for learning the language are considered to hold a vital position in shaping these skills. Competitiveness is defined as "Ability of a firm or a nation to offer products and services that meet the quality standards of the local and world markets at prices that are competitive and provide adequate returns on the resources employed or consumed in producing them" [1]. If transformed into the sphere of education, this term can be defined as an ability of a student to implement his abilities into practice which meet the quality standards of educational system and develop his/her own capabilities in a competitive way, rather trying to be more effective, productive than others. It has been remarked that when the students are given the tasks which demand adversarial approach, the productivity and effectiveness, interest to the topic among students will increase drastically and every of them try to possess competitive advantage which means more learning, being more efficient.
If arranged properly, the spirit of friendly competitiveness in the classroom can be a driving power, stimuli to achieve more. Students are highly different in implementing their capacities since there are considered to be visual, auditory, kinesthetic learners and teachers should be aware of these while getting prepared for the lesson. The classroom atmosphere is relatively important and dividing the classroom into the groups simultaneously triggering off in them the mood of competitiveness with appropriate tasks will raise their academic interest and even hold a motivating position. After completing educational process, as an employee, they are required to have competitive strength to shine among others, to have more lucrative opportunities and to be promoted in their career life. Productivity is important because it has been found to be the main factor driving growth and income levels. And income levels are very closely linked to human welfare. So understanding the factors that allow for this chain of events to occur is very important. Basically, rising competitiveness means rising prosperity.
