However, it is worth mentioning that icebreakers should be items that can capture the learners' attention and arouse their interest in the subject (Aniuranti 2021;Wooten, Geerling, and Thomas 200). The main aim of integrating icebreakers into the course is to promote the fun element in class.…”

This book focuses on distance education research, a dire need in the field, especially in Africa and other developing contexts. 'Distance education' in this book has been used as an umbrella term for any form of education in which there is a separation between the teacher and the learner, which necessitates the use of media. The authors from a range of African countries and international experts who have had a stint of their career in developing contexts, borrowing from their wealth of experience, discuss research trends in distance education in their milieu, identifying the gaps and how this mode of delivery can be strengthened. By so doing, their passion for quality which has been a major area of concern in the field was brought to the fore. They have reiterated the fact that it is possible to enhance quality in this mode of delivery by not only conducting research but also applying its findings to theory, practice, and policy. The book is the first of two volumes.

“…Ice-breaking activities are considered essential in every teaching and learning process. Implementing ice-breakers at the beginning of the class is assumed as an essential learning stage (Aniuranti, 2021;Aniuranti et al, 2021;Marneni et al, 2017;Yeganehpour & Takkaç, 2016). Before moving into the primary teaching phase, ice breaking is an activity that can be used to reduce students' anxiety and boredom in the classroom, making the teaching and learning process more enjoyable and conducive (Astuti et al, 2020).…”

The vocabulary teaching process has been discussed widely, and the studies that are concerned with the strategies for teaching English vocabulary were explored by many researchers. However, research about students’ voices is commonly neglected. This descriptive quantitative research aims to fill this gap by investigating students' perceptions of Wordshake and Shusi Spell games as tools for teaching English vocabulary. The two games were employed in Lexical Studies 1 class for seven meetings as ice-breaking activities. Then, the students (16 students) had to complete a closed questionnaire. The data were examined by finding out the percentage of every item in the questionnaire. The results showed two significant findings. Firstly, the students agreed that the games affected them positively. Secondly, the games influenced the teaching and learning process positively. In short, Wordshake and Shusi Spell got students’ positive responses.
