Teaching in the Age of AI: Can Simple Language Games Be the Engagement Game-Changer?

What if the most powerful classroom technology wasn’t another app - but the right game at the right moment?

In an age of AI tools and shrinking attention spans, teachers face the same challenge every day: how do we keep learners focused, involved, and actually using English? The answer is often simpler than we think.

This interactive session shows how purposeful language games can transform quiet, passive classrooms into spaces full of communication, collaboration, and risk-taking and you’ll see how play drives deeper learning across speaking, vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking.

If you want more speaking, more energy, and less teacher talk, this session is for you!
