In this course we will consider the advantages of using games as a tool in communicative language teaching. Students will practice using different types of games to target specific language aspects, skills and learning stages. The main goal of the course is for students to understand the functions of language games in the classroom, learn to provide clear instructions as well as define and maximize learning outcomes of an activity.
