It's all fun and games learning language through play
Course Overview
In today's information and activity intense world, engagement is one of a teacher's biggest challenges. We take a look at the importance of the fun factor in class through a series of hands-on activities and games. We will reflect on what we have experienced and see what the dangers are, if any, of having too much fun in class.
Course Objectives
The main objective of the session is to provide teachers with different takes on familiar and known activities that incorporate that extra bit of fun by getting students out of their chairs and their hands busy. We also target the use of digital aids through the use of video games for language learning.
