GAME CHANGER – Laura LANGLOIS – Thursdays 8.00am-10.00am
Games can change us. They can teach us valuable skills: communication, sociability, problem-solving, fast-thinking and strategy. They hone our reactions, our eloquence, our abilities to improvise, to imagine and to create. They can help us function effectively in a team or independently, train us to understand complex instructions, situations and possible outcomes. What’s more, games reflect culture and open doors to understanding others.
Are you looking for an engaging, dynamic English class where your interests and knowledge can help shape the content? There will be student-led activities, speaking games, discussions, debates, presentations and roleplays. We’ll learn about and play a wide variety of games, discuss cultural tastes and differences in game-playing, consider the role that games play in our cultural and family backgrounds, look at tech innovations and the future of the video game industry, and explore gamification in education, in marketing and in recruitment.
The requirements? Commitment to the class, regular attendance and a keen desire to participate actively.
Ready to play? Let’s go!
