Long Description:
You’ll learn everything you need to know to find, implement, and succeed in exciting and motivational adventure storytelling in your World language classroom. You’ll see how to foster better reading, writing, speaking and listening using ready-made adventure role-playing games in your level 2, 3, and 4 World language classes. Student interest, engagement, and compelling storytelling contexts are key! You need not be an TTRPG expert, you just need an adventurous mindset! You’ll be introduced to the theory and rudiments of implementing readily available cooperative story games into your 2nd language classrooms. While running these games, the context can become so comprehensible to your students, that they forget that they are interacting in L2! Join us and see how using these storytelling games have transformed engagement, L2 interaction, and L2 output in my students.
