What is this? A set of in-depth examples that frame a single game into different pedagogical approaches.
Why did you make it? We felt that the literature on game-based learning lacks examples of HOW to use a game with various methodologies and curricular goals.
Who is it for? For teachers that would like to try using games in their language classroom but are stuck in limbo between theory and practice.
Why do we need this? We think that practical examples on how to use a game in more than one way might help spread the love for more instances of Ludic Language Pedagogy.
What is it not? This is not a paper that promotes MONOPOLY as the best option to teach languages with games.
