Language teachers have long used games, but gamification – the use of game elements in non-game settings – is a more recent concept in connecting with today’s learners.
This workshop will give a brief overview of gamification, then help teachers identify and prepare ways to use gamification in their own classrooms.
Register using this form by April 24: https://goo.gl/forms/QMKmAIXiPrEy9c2v2
If possible, bring a syllabus for a class you want to gamify.
