Session Description:

Are you looking for ways to supplement your instruction with technology tools that engage multilingual learners? Come to this session to learn about free game-based learning tools you can use with language learners at all levels to enhance understanding, fluency, critical thinking, and communication skills.

Objectives:

- Participants will explore online tools for using games to engage language learners.
