- - - - As teachers, we have to be skillful in teaching the target language, instead of using text books especially when explaining grammatical rules and patterns. The teacher also need to be proficient in the target language, so that they are capable to provide translation practices and correct exercises made by the pupils
        
        This method is also applicable to Malaysian classroom context because it focuses on translation the target language to native language and vice versa. “Translation is applied on learners to facilitate the learning of these difficult words.” (Erlina Melati Mahpar, 2007)
        
        The biggest advantage of this method is the students will understand of the phraseology (expressions &phrases) i.e. abstract words, idioms, phrases, metaphors, similes etc. since translation is possible in this method. Hence students can have better understanding of complicated concepts
        
        Students learn easily. The meaning of words, idioms, phrases and sentences can be easily. It makes clear to the students by translating them into native language. This develops an attitude of exactness and definiteness. It enriches student’s vocabulary of English language as students learn to consult English dictionaries to know the meaning of new words. It helps student to learn English through their mother their tongue. In this method, the child proceeds from known to unknown. This gives him a better comprehension of English. By comparing with the grammar of mother tongue, English grammar can clearly and effectively teach. Since the textbook is the main basis of grammar cum translation method, it promotes the skill of reading and comprehension. This method is very useful in developing the art and skill of translation. This method requires the use of very less material aids in the classroom because mother tongue translation makes the teaching easy. So it saves a lot of time and energy of the teacher in teaching a foreign language. We can use this method even in over-crowded classes. Students are more comfortable as they learn by translating foreign language into mother tongue.

    - - Policies in scholastic ICT integration were apparent globally nearly twenty years ago with respect to the plethora of primary studies on ICT technology in educational provisions (Hamzah et al., 2010). In tandem to these technological trends, the Malaysian Ministry of Education has consequently levied ICT to be integrated widely in the process of teaching and learning. Also asserted that the utilisation of educational ICT tools in ESL classrooms would increase learners’ interest in acquiring the language fundamentally. Technology integration has given learners themselves many advantages in which autonomy in learning has been sublime, in which Yunus & Salehi (2012) explicated that the existence of a teacher in facilitating these processes would impose a much more significant learning
        experiences that deviate from the focus of the learning.
    - - Digitalized gaming experience refers to a game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a monitor or other display (Bossom & Dunning, 2016). As digitalized gaming has become part of the global culture (Dini, 2012), utilization of gaming elements in learning seems parallel to making educational provisions more relevant for the younger and technologically savvy generation. Prior to the era of the digital revolution, previous generations of language learners went through a much more traditional learning methods such as chalk-and-talk lessons, which juxtaposed to the current Generation Z, ranging between 13 to
        17 years old learners who never experienced a world without digitalized gaming elements (Duran 2017).
