Join us tomorrow to discuss #games in the ELT classroom - do they aid learning, or are they just fun?#eltchat |
| Marisa_C |

Hello all. My computer was taking a long time to load tonight. #eltchat |

How many of us play games with our students? #eltchat |
| GlenysHanson |

Hi Sue and Trinity. Is anyone else here? #ELTchat |

I wonder sometimes if games are a distraction rather than a learning process. Sometimes they feel like a way to kill time #eltchat |

@MConca16 do they have a real learning outcome, always? #ELTChat |

would you say they are more Gamelike activities for Language Learning than real games, though? #eltchat |
| SueAnnan |
2017-12-13T19:13:59 |
@David__Boughton Does that mean that you think Games are unsuitable for adults? #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
2017-12-13T19:14:49 |
@SueAnnan @David__Boughton There may be degrees of playfulness in activities - don't you think that is a good thing #ELTChat |

Our adults LOVE games and they are game any time the word 'game' is mentioned! #ELTChat |
| SueAnnan |
2017-12-13T19:15:38 |
@Marisa_C Is it best to have the game at the end of the lesson, because of the settling down time needed afterwards? #eltchat |

@GlenysHanson Yes. I term those GLALLS rather than actual games #ELTChat |

Does a game help recall? or is its position as a change of pace beneficial in itself? #eltchat |
| MConca16 |
2017-12-13T19:20:51 |
@SueAnnan @Marisa_C @David__Boughton Class environment,learning preferences or just the student profile might need that 'selling' #ELTChat |
