Gamification of Language Learning

Language is the basic expression of one’s cultural identity and respect for linguistic diversity is a fundamental value of the EU. However,  there is an increased likelihood of children from immigrant and migrant families being disadvantaged in their learning when the language at home is different to the language used in school. Language barriers which are not addressed early on, can lead not only to lower  PISA (Programme of International Student Assessment) test scores, but also early school leaving, higher unemployment, increased poverty and lack of social integration.

Project Aim

The project aims to address, recognise, assist and monitor the linguistic challenges and difficulties faced by the children of families who maintain a different home language to that of the language of school. It offers educators and schools an innovative teaching method on how to support students from these households through the gamification of language learning to increase disadvantaged students’ success at school.
