About the Book

Language learning thrives on interaction and meaningful use that games naturally create. Thoughtfully designed games can transform classrooms into dynamic spaces where students can experiment with language and engage deeply with better communication. It is essential to explore how games support vocabulary development and learner autonomy, demonstrating that game-based play is not a distraction from learning but a powerful tool to linguistic competence. Game-Based Approaches to Language Teaching and Learning contributes an array of game-based strategies for enhancing language development. These can be used in improving language teaching by empowering teachers with knowledge of how games can increase the learners' motivation, engagement, and self-regulation in task performance. Covering topics such as language teaching, game-based learning, and education psychology, this book is an excellent resource for educators, educational institutions, technology developers, educational psychologists, researchers, and graduate students.
