That's why implementation of games are increadibly valuable in a class because they provide many opportunities for learners to learn the language. One of the methodologists,carrier mentions that there are three appropriate stages in a lesson that games can be used.Michelle Schwarz stresses that the method refines students'communication and critical skillsin the process of applying theoretical knowledge and searching for solutions,fostering students' information literacy and increasing their collaboration and team work.Information literacy is one of the most current issues in education of twenty first century.Therefore,teachers with the help of this method can develop not only students' language skills, but also their communication skills,team-working skills and critical thinking.Another important impact of this method is that students get knowledge not only from the teacher, but also from other students and also the teacher may get knowledge from students.By the way, teacher can implement an effective interaction between students and the teacher with the assist of the case study method.

Jackson recommends that the instructors use both locally and internationally designed cases. She stresses the importance of the cultural component and advices that case writers and facilitators develop cases that reflect the local cultural context.
