I have been thinking of how I could potentially implement tabletop roleplaying games into my teaching. Here are a few thought points before we embark any further:
- What are TTRPGs?
- Why would I consider using them in class or as an after-school programme?
- What are the potential benefits of using TTRPGs?
- Has there been any research on the pros and cons of using TTRPGs for language learning?
- What kind of challenges would I face running a game?
- What obstacles would students with lower level English abilities face?
- What do I hope to achieve by doing this?
- What kind of research could I contribute through running these games?
