I'll be presenting at the Playful End-of-the-Year Gathering for the Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT) Lifelong Language Learning (LLL) Special Interest Group (SIG) on Friday, December 22.

The event starts at 6:30 PM. in room (Building) 15-301.

Title: Lunchtime Adventures for University Students using (Advanced) Fighting Fantasy
Time: 7:00 PM - 7:30 PM

In this talk, the presenter will demonstrate one method for employing tabletop roleplaying games as educational materials to develop foreign language skills with students at the university level. These materials have been used with university students during lunchtime language development sessions in the foreign language teaching division of a global research and education center. Firstly, the presenter will briefly discuss how the materials were implemented during these sessions, including one idea for linking this activity with extensive reading. Following this explanation, the audience will experience the materials first-hand and discuss effective practices for using tabletop role-playing games with students developing their foreign language ability.
