KEY POINTS

  • What is this? This is a reflection on and sharing of our growth journeys in our graduation seminar.
  • Why did you make it? In our seminar, 11 students embarked on unique self-growth journeys, each with our own goals and methods. Although we played the same games, we engaged in different activities and had diverse experiences. Yet, we found ourselves growing in similar areas, such as language, confidence, and study skills. Learning can come from many forms of media, especially through experiential learning. We want to share our insights and experiences with you.
  • Who is it for? This is for teachers interested in integrating the Pedagogy of Multiliteracies with games, as well as for students looking to explore active learning approaches
