Picture a family gathering on a nice summer day; in addition to delicious food, fun activities, and much laughter and talking, what else could be included? Although it might seem odd, our family gathering resulted in an important mathematics teaching and learning lesson.

Indigenous games play an important role in various communities. Despite research indicating that these games can be used to advance and create a connection between classroom activities and the real life contexts, the connection has not been explored adequately to make this a reality in many mathematics classrooms. This Article reports on the various indigenous games that are a feature in South Africa as well as the Southern Africa region. The Article identifies a number of indigenous games that are popular in South Africa and how such games have been used to promote cultural heritage. This article also discusses examples of the use of such games in the process of teaching and learning of mathematics in schools.Keywords: Indigenous games. Mathematics teaching and learning. Sociocultural context. Real-life examples.El uso de juegos indígenas en la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las Matemáticas Los juegos indígenas juegan un papel importante en varias comunidades. A pesar de las investigaciones que indican que estos juegos pueden usarse para avanzar y crear una conexión entre las actividades del aula y los contextos de la vida real, pero, la conexión no se ha explorado adecuadamente para hacer de esto una realidad en muchas aulas de matemáticas. Este artículo informa sobre los diversos juegos indígenas que son una característica en Sudáfrica y en la región de África del Sur. El artículo identifica una serie de juegos indígenas que son populares en Sudáfrica y cómo dichos juegos se han utilizado para promover el patrimonio cultural. El artículo también analiza ejemplos del uso de tales juegos en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en las escuelas.Palabras clave: Juegos indígenas.

Apesar das pesquisas indicarem que esses jogos podem ser utilzados para avançar e criar uma conexão entre as atividades da sala de aula e os contextos da vida real, essa conexão ainda não foi explorada adequadamente para tornar isso uma realidade em muitas salas de aula de matemática. Este artigo relata diferentes jogos indígenas que são jogados na África do Sul e na região da África Austral. Este artigo, também, identifica vários jogos indígenas populares na África do Sul e como esses jogos foram utilização para a promoção do patrimônio cultural, bem como discute exemplos do uso desses jogos no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de matemática nas escolas.Palavras-chave: Jogos indígenas.

This study aims at describing the implementation of role play technique in order to improve students’ English oral communication. The subjects of this study were forty students of UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang majoring at Islamic Banking who are taking English 1 as a compulsory subject at semester III. To meet the objective of this study, Classroom Action Research (CAR) which involved planning, acting, observing, and reflecting was used as the design of research. The data of this qualitative study were gathered through observation, interview, and documentation. Meanwhile, the result of this study was presented descriptively based on the phenomena occurred during the implementation of role-play in the process of teaching and learning. In addition, the findings of this study revealed that by applying role-play technique, the students are able to improve their English oral communication as well as increase their motivation in learning English. Role play technique allows the students to be more active in the class as they get much opportunity to speak based on the context given in a real-life situation..
