Jesus has answers, so let’s start with Jesus. It’s how our Family-of-Three designed us. That one day words like fun and enjoyable, life-giving and passion, will be used when Christians think of studying the Bible.
Do you think the God who created us as lifelong life-learners created us to be educationally deformed? I have a dream! Finding joy in learning is beyond their imagination. They have lost hope that they can learn well. Many struggle to learn, maybe each school day similar to how I did in German class.
Fortunately, the ten others in class were very embracing. I learned what it was like to come in each day and fail in a learning environment. I hope you feel my pain in those five words. In the first 15 minutes in the first class, we blew by every last bit of German I had learned. No openings were available in the basic course, so I jumped to the 2 nd level since I learned well. Ready? Make this active with popcorn responses! What is the first emotion that comes to mind when you hear the words school, teaching & learning? Yes, be honest!įor me, learning has always come easy…until we went to Germany to learn German as missionaries. We expect that our findings would provide teachers and practitioners with ideas for classroom research and encourage researchers to conduct further and more rigorous testing on integrating Facebook games into the EFL classroom.What is a Discovery in Doing Group (DID)?įirst, let me ask if you like games? Let’s begin with a quick word-association game. They believed that Facebook games teach players following instructions and provide opportunities for language improvement, especially for vocabulary learning. Although few student-teachers had negative views, most of the student-teachers had positive views on using Facebook games for learning. Data were analyzed qualitatively using a thematic inductive approach. were collected through student-teachers' presentations and reflective journals. They were required to play Facebook games for two weeks and then present their experiences through oral presentations and reflective journals. The participants were 48 student-teachers at the EFL Department of the Faculty of Education at a Libyan public university. This exploratory case study aimed at investigating the student-teachers' views on using Facebook games for language learning.
