Summarized by Shahrukh Khan
The contemporary pedagogy is getting more interactive in the K-12 education system. Along with various gamifying techniques, instructional leaders encourage teachers to induce gamification in group projects. The article focuses on gamifying lesson plans which are focused on learning world languages using both aspects of gamification and teamwork. Learning a new language is never an easy task. However, with consistent exposure through gamification, it can be a life-learning experience. For this venture, the article suggests to make the play relevant, encourage teamwork, establish solid rules, learn useful aspects of the language and use exciting games. (Otero, 2017)
