I haven’t had time to read Phil’s article yet. All this talk of games reminds me of this wonderful iELT plenary by Sarah Priestley called, “Do students really want FUN in the ELT classroom?” The transcript for it is here: https://ielt18.innovateevents.com/blog/plenary-do-students-really-want-fun-in-the-elt-classroom/

Thank you for sharing those, Anne! Here’s the article via Paul Raine by Reinhardt & Sykes (2014):
SPECIAL ISSUE COMMENTARY: DIGITAL GAME AND PLAY ACTIVITY IN L2 TEACHING AND LEARNING
ABSTRACT
Games and play dynamics are proliferating in social, professional, and educational domains. This special issue brings together a collection of articles examining game and play activity in second language teaching and learning. Each addresses the topic from a unique perspective and represents game and play as part of complex ecologies of practice. The approaches include observation of out-of-school L2 gaming practices, adaptation of commercial, off-the-shelf games in the classroom, application of a game-based L2 learning environment, and the study of ‘gameful’ learning through play in social networks. -

The Internet is amazing.
