• Learning should be fun and to I might use "kahoot" to monitor students' performance or progress. 

• Game  mechanics such as badges, levels , and points motivate students to learn.

• Creating  an alternative platform for students to learn language through the use of games mechanics which are familiar to them. 

• Gamification in language classroom provides a new way to connect and motivate my students to learn.

• Learning requires retention over time and gamification allows students to memorise, recall, associate, and apply the concepts that they have learnt. 

• A quick warm-up activities 

• A quick method to check for full participation.

• I can use it as  a tool to test comprehension and check for misunderstanding. 

• I can obtain immediate response from their test scores. 

• I can provide timely feedback and revisit certain concept based on my students' performance. 

• Stepping outside the traditional teaching by telling.

• Allows students to learn at their own pace or level and they are able to track their own progress.

• Inaccessibility  of the game-based learning platform due to no or limited internet access. 

• Limited time  and knowledge in preparing gamification activities.

•  I have to explore other learning platform in order to  sustain students' interest. 

• I may not be able to make it as engaging as it should be.

• How do I make it work for those who do not own a smartphone or a laptop?

I will give it a try in my own classroom and learn to look at gamification as a tool to support learning. ]]> 2018-02-01 14:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aafeona/l7t7pms48l58/wish/227047831
