Abstract
Humor is often seen as an informal tool in the classroom, but its role in language teaching is both significant and multifaceted. This article explores how humor can improve language acquisition by promoting engagement, reducing stress, and facilitating a positive learning environment. It examines the psychological benefits of humor, how it can enhance communication skills, and the ways in which teachers can effectively integrate humor into lessons. While humor is an invaluable teaching tool, the article also addresses its potential drawbacks and offers strategies for using it appropriately.
