Game-based learning strategies to teach english as a foreign language to 3rd grade secondary school students

Abstract

Let's talk about "Games" and "Fun", words that, when mentioned, bring to mind our childhood, right? But can you think about education at the same time? Teaching and games are two words that we could relate into an educational context with adolescents? Nowadays the topic of education plays an important role in a conversation between parents concerned about their children's learning, or why not in a series of newscasts that maintain the emphasis on those bets on educational change that a politician makes for " The great change of his country, "we put our hopes in the education secretary and deep down we think that he will do great things to achieve that change. It is thought that we depend on great changes, and if it were not so? I mean, if we start to think about those small actions that will lead us to great achievements maybe then we will become an educational power. If we stop thinking that the classes have to be in front of a blackboard full of meaningless letters and in the understanding that the learning is not always in a notebook, in a note, keeping the students static and quiet. Breaking with the scheme we have of schools and trusting who is in charge of teaching the contents and who accompanies the students during their intense days of study, is undoubtedly the teacher.
