Introduction
In the dynamic realm of education, blending fun and learning has become a cornerstone for effective teaching. Educational games in Spanish provide a gateway to unique and immersive learning experience. This article dives deep into a specific educational game to learn Spanish.
The Rise of Gamified Learning
Sometimes learning new vocabulary, being in the classroom, and reading are so boring. You start to feel so demotivated to learn so you just quiet. But when you play games you are so interested in defeating the boss or destroying the towers that you don’t even count the time. The game is what we are going to use so you can achieve your goal of being fluent in Spanish.
“Gamified” refers to the process of incorporating elements commonly found in games into non-game contexts to make them more engaging, motivating, and enjoyable.The goal of a Gamified is to turn the task into a funny, enjoyable task. So how can we use it to learn Spanish? We will see it on this article.
Badges and achievements
First, let’s look at our goal: Talk fluently in Spanish. Now divide the goal into small sections. For: today I said a complete phrase or I said more than Hola, Buenos días. Small goals. And when you achieve one you receive a badge. And so on every time, you achieve a small goal. Of course, don’t take your eyes off your big goal.
Points and Scores
Every time you achieve a small goal. You could give yourself 10 points for example. And If you like to eat chocolate cake. You could badge yourself by putting the cake at 500 points. And when you get them you could eat a chocolate cake. Will be like trade in the market of Genshin Impact.
Levels
Everyone loves to be at an upper level. And Speaking fluently Spanish will be like that. I love how Duolingo sets us in levels, when you finish all the tasks you level up and you could also make a quiz to level up faster. But if you don’t like to use Duolingo you could take from base the A1, A2, B1, B2 … to put your levels. The goal is to get to the top.
Rewards
I love chocolate cake and for me is a motivation to do something to eat chocolate cake. Maybe you like to ride a horse, so when you achieve a goal you could be rewarded you riding a horse. The greater the reward the greater the task you should complete.
Competition
The competitions excite us, they give us purpose, a way to demonstrate I’m better than you. Find someone who is on the same level as you, and compete with him and win him. The competition will keep you motivated. Also don’t forget to be cut, you are rivals but have the same goal as you. So try to be kind, and courageous, have a friendly competition knowing that both go in the same direction, and have fun.
Storytelling
When you want to know something is more engaging to continue because you want to know. So every time you level up you could advance in a story. Maybe a Castle king or an intergalactic war or read the next chapter of the book you like or maybe write the next part of the story you create. The stories are always awesome to know.
Feedback
How could you know you are leveling up to your goal? How will you know you need something more to improve? That is why feedback is very important. Find a mentor, a Spanish speaker. Someone who knows Spanish so you could ask him questions and he can give you answers, tips, and feedback. So you know you are going in the right way.
Conclusion
The gamified is an excellent way to achieve your goal while having fun. By making small goals, giving yourself points, leveling up achieving rewards, having a competition, a storyteller, and some feedback you will achieve your goal with the head up and lights on. The process of learning doesn’t have to be boring it could be funny and enjoyable.
