Descrição
Resumo:The present thesis aims to present a didactic proposal regarding the progressive, innovative implementation of gamification devices, alongside other innovative methods, within English as a Foreign Language classrooms. The planning will also carry an interdisciplinary focus, as the subject of physical education will be implemented in the acquisition of English as a Foreign Language related knowledge by the students. This interdisciplinary introduction aims to provide newer, practical contexts where the students apply the sports vocabulary concepts taught hitherto. Furthermore, the introduction of gamification in this process, as well as the fostering of the different communicative elements through group, interactive activities, succours the students’ communication prowess. This series of activities is tailored for students with A1 and A2 learners, who study the 2nd course of Spanish Compulsory Secondary Education. This introduction of gamification will also be carried out involving the task-based language teaching method, as well as the communicative method and the multi-sensorial approach.
