CASLS is proud to announce that a new version of the Games 2 Teach website is going to be launched in the spring of 2015. The updated website offers a more dynamic and engaging experience for users to take full advantage of the resources on Games 2 Teach. The new site still offers the same resources, such as reviews of trending vernacular digital games for how appropriate they are for L2 teaching and learning, but certain features have been updated in order to provide a more seamless user experience. For example, the service to request any of the publications available on Games 2 Teach has been updated to give users access to the publications even faster than before.

Games 2 Teach is codirected by Julie Sykes and Jonathon Reinhardt, and is funded in part by CERCLL, the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language, and Literacy. Over the course of the next four years, this project will provide classroom resources for L2 learning activities, academic-level working papers and white papers, a manual for L2 teachers and activities, and summer workshops on L2 pedagogy, all centered on using vernacular digital games in second language acquisition.
