Games can provide context for purposeful target-language communication in the classroom & promote SLA, literacy & interculturality. As we play we build community, an essential ingredient of the ACTFL Core Practices & CA WL Framework. We will play each game & take turns setting it up in groups. Slide decks, templates and instructions will be provided & are adaptable to any language & level.
