Making learning fun is especially important for both learners and teachers. This session will be very engaging, with a variety of activities shown to maximise language production in the classroom while letting young learners have a lot of fun.

The workshop is developed for teachers who work with learners who are aged between 6 and 12 years old. In this session, we’ll look at how gamifying learning can foster learners’ engagement in the study and production of language. We’ll try out a range of vocabulary games that you can use in your classes and reflect on how we can adapt the games for different lexical sets and learning objectives.
