In today’s digital age, learning a new language has become essential to thrive in a globalized world. English language learning has become particularly crucial, as it is considered the lingua franca of the world. To cater to this need, many schools and institutions have started offering language learning programs for young learners. However, traditional methods of teaching can be mundane and uninteresting for students. To make the learning process exciting and engaging, gamification is the way forward.
Recently, a group of young students attended an interactive English language learning session that was conducted by Mr. Adnan Ahmed, a certified GOC OPEN alumnus from PUAN Sukkur Chapter. The session was designed to teach important 21st-century skills like communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, which are crucial for the students’ overall development.
The session was not just limited to theoretical knowledge; rather, it included various fun activities that helped students distinguish different words and learn the English language through gamification. These activities were designed to make the learning process enjoyable and engaging for the students, helping them to retain the information they learned.
By incorporating gamification, the learning experience was transformed from mundane to exciting. The students enjoyed participating in the activities, which kept them interested and engaged throughout the session. The gamification approach also enabled the students to practice their 21st-century skills and collaborate with their peers.
Overall, the interactive English language learning session was an excellent way to make learning fun and engaging for young learners. It is essential to adopt new and innovative teaching methods to make learning enjoyable and effective.
