In this course, we will focus on using video games for and in ELT. We will do so from several perspectives and thus focus on various dimensions of video games by viewing them as complex systems, texts, and practices in a wider sociocultural context. After approaching a definition of video games for our seminar and some technical/theoretical considerations, we will explore different approaches of using video games in the English classroom. While keeping in mind curricular policy frameworks, our approach to exploring the potential of video games for ELT will particularly be based on new understandings of literacy. With our theoretical framework in mind, we will further collect and reflect on using specific video games for our own (future) teaching. This also entails critically evaluating the use of (specific) video games for our classrooms.
Everyone is welcome in this class - even if you do not consider yourself a "gamer".
