Adapting Board Games for Language Practice: A Workshop

Date: Saturday, January 14th, 2012 Time: 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Speaker: Margaret Orleans (Seinan Jo Gakuin University)

Description:
Games, with their rules and repetitiveness, provide the perfect scaffolding for language practice. In addition, learners get to be creative and take chances in an emotional environment; in other words, they have the opportunity to make the target language their own. Participants in this workshop will explore half a dozen commercial board games for their potential use in their own classrooms.
