Board Games in the CLIL Classroom
The present book explores how modern board gaming and language teaching can be beneficially combined to achieve optimal impact. Modern board games have a lot to offer language learners and teachers, and they should play a much more significant role in what has been labelled "Content and Language Integrated Learning" or CLIL. Modern board games require cooperation, problem-solving, active discovery, interpretation and analysis. Most importantly, modern board games allow students to explore a hypothetical environment without the risk of language errors. The key ingredient of the present book is "game-based learning and teaching theory", or GBLTT, a theoretical framework which measures learning outcomes based on gaming and learning procedures. GBLTT is focused on balancing information and gameplay as well as putting a focus on the ability of each learner to retain language competence and to put their subject to realistic situations.

Teaching and Learning English in Japanese Classrooms
This book shows how English language instructors in Japan explored the questions and issues which most closely affected them and their students in the language learning process. Each of the teacher-researchers had a puzzle. After reviewing existing literature, each writer found a way to adjust their practice, and in these chapters, they report on the results. Topics include educational technology, learner autonomy, feedback, and novel approaches to listening, reading and writing instruction. Although the contributors are working in Japan, classroom practitioners from the wider international language teaching community can benefit from the practical teaching approaches and accessible descriptions of practitioner research to be found in this book. A secondary audience of educational managers and teacher trainers will also find value in chapters which outline the ways in which an environment conducive to practitioner research can be facilitated.
