I'll be at the Gameful Learning conference this summer between July 23 and July 25. I will be also hosting a session on Twine and ways we can effectively use it in the classroom for learning at the conference. The abstract of my workshop is copied below. Hopefully see you there! Cheers, Greg Title: “Constructing Twine in the ESL Classroom” Abstract: How can English as a Second Language (ESL) pedagogy help with implementing gameful learning materials? To provide some perspective, current ESL pedagogy can be summarized into three guiding principles: 1) learning should be defined using concept questions, 2) learning should be seen in context, and 3) learning should include follow-up activities that practice the learned material. A concept question is a teaching device used for foreign language learning; for instance, if a learner were learning the vocabulary ‘bedsit’ some concept questions might include ‘is it a room?’ and ‘are there any other rooms in the house?’.
