This document discusses using games in the classroom to engage students in learning. It introduces several digital games that can be used like Kahoot, Quizlet, Quizizz, and Gimkit. It provides research that shows games can improve vocabulary acquisition over traditional methods. Games allow students to learn in a meaningful, interactive way while developing critical thinking and collaboration skills. Teachers are encouraged to use games to develop connections with course content and create positive learning experiences. Examples are provided of how to integrate these games into lessons and ways they support language skills in the CEFR framework.

7. Research in vocabulary
acquisition
Studies conducted by Calvo-Ferrer (2017), Ashraf,
Motlagh, & Salami (2014), Saffarian and Gorjian (2012),
Segers and Verhoeven (2003) indicate that students
who used computer games for vocabulary acquisition
had superior results over the control groups.

8. Chunking versus
isolated vocabulary acquisition
“...the research on vocabulary acquisition suggests to
us that, while explicitly learning isolated words can be
useful, it’s not the MOST useful thing to be doing with
limited time.”
“Cognitive science...tells us that memorising chunks of
language is more efficient than doing so through
isolated words. We can hold a handful of items in
working memory; that handful could be in the form of
four single words or four longer phrases.”

Saves time: creating a quiz for your session only takes minutes.
During the session, neither you, nor the trainees need to install or
configure anything.
Gives immediate feedback: you can see the results and
immediately spot if some questions need additional explanation.
Engages any audience: trainees pay more attention because they
really want to win!
Improves knowledge retention: the interactive format helps
people remember more of the content covered in the session.

It started with a French test. Andrew Sutherland, then
a 15-year-old high school freshman in Albany,
California, had to memorize 111 French terms for
animals (including "winnie l'ourson," better known to
us as Winnie the Pooh). Most kids would write up
flash cards or badger their parents into helping them
prep. Instead, Sutherland created a software program
that ultimately turned into Quizlet, a Web-based tool
that anyone can use to memorize vocabulary terms.
