Board-games as review lessons in English language teaching

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: This article examines the use of three different tailored board games, designed to be played in the classroom in order to review contents seen in class in an entertaining, friendly way. In all cases contents are related to English language, including both theoretical and practical perspectives, and different methodologies such as CLIL and ESP. Students taking part in these activities were divided in small groups in order to promote cooperative learning. These ad-hoc games have been tested on students from different backgrounds, age-groups and linguistic and educational levels. All the different groups have welcomed the revision of contents in these activities, which have increased students’ motivation in second/foreign language learning.
