Ponencia: Engaging Adult Novice Learners through Games
This practical workshop will explore games for the A0-A2 adult learner. We will take a walk through memory lane by remembering some favorite childhood games and discuss ways to adapt them to teach basic learners in different ways and involve them in the process. Although the focus of the workshop will be on adult learners, the games are suitable for young learners and adolescents. All the resources presented will be open or free resources, including materials from the American English website of the US State Department.
