Webinar details

What can we learn from 100 years of learning through play? What is the future of language learning through play!

Note: Back by popular demand – this session was previously held in June and is being held again at a more convenient time in Europe. 

Continuing on from our Game-Based Learning webinar in June, we recap the history of learning through play and explore more practical ideas. The presenters will be giving you a range of research-backed activities to enhance your children’s language learning experiences.

We will look at: 

  • A history of play-based learning
  • A framework for learning through play

…and analyze games on their “playability”!

Come along and get involved in this super practical session!
