TESL Ontario Webinar

Have you ever played Trivial Pursuit to learn geography? Or played Monopoly to hone your math and money skills? What about Bingo to build your vocabulary? Are you looking for ways to make your online lessons more engaging? If so, consider including virtual games.

As children we play games all the time, from the store-bought ones to the ones we invent with our siblings and friends. As we grow up, we play games less frequently and tend to look at games as something that children do. In the ESL classroom, we rarely incorporate games into our learning activities or consider them as economical, engaging means of learning or practising language skills.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• how to incorporate games into your ESL classroom,
• the best types of games for different learning goals, and
• a list of games that you can use, including virtual games.
