Elena Peresada: How gamification helps to adapt a coursebook for millennial t...Trendy English
You don’t know how to motivate your teenage students? They never do their homework and think English coursebooks are boring. But they like playing computer games! In my talk I’ll explain what computer games can teach us and I’ll give a few simple examples how you can gamify your coursebook using a game-design approach.
To understand how to gamify your coursebook, we need to realize what elements of computer games make them so interesting? When teachers start to gamify their classes they introduce XP (experience points), leaderboards, badges, etc. These elements help to increase students extrinsic motivation. Points and badges is a good thing to start, but we should not stop here.
Engaging games, which keep players playing for hours, do not maintain players’ interest by simply offering the ability to earn points and beat levels. What makes the game addictive is a good story, chances for players, challenges, and choices.
In my talk I’ll give a few practical examples how you can apply these game principles to your coursebook. I’ll show how game techniques can make drills and gap-filling exercises exciting. We'll learn how we can use the power of fail at our English lessons and what mechanics we can use to encourage our students to make their own meaningful choices during the lesson. I’ll explain how to create an exciting Role-Play- Game from the scratch to provide an authentic speaking output. We’ll see how game mechanics and elements of storytelling can brighten up reading tasks.
Also, I’ll point to some common mistakes which teachers make when they start to gamify their English classes.

They saw their role as providing moral support rather than academic instruction. For the second question, it found that families connected with schools and shared information, though some reported lack of cultural understanding from teachers. Families also stayed involved through non-academic activities and saw their role as supportive. For the third question, some teachers
