Incorporating digital language learning games into the classroom is one powerful way to challenge students and to make the learning environment more exciting. This excitement can help motivate students to learn and use languages outside of the classroom. Games2Teach helps teachers take the leap and build language learning games into their curriculum.

The Games2Teach website provides free downloadable classroom activities in more than a dozen languages. The activities include a summary of student learning outcomes, student and teacher instructions, activities, and handouts. The site also includes additional curricular resources and professional development materials designed specifically for incorporating language learning games into the classroom. In addition, the site includes information on how to adapt teaching styles and on how students can learn languages more effectively.

The first of its kind, Games2Teach applies game-informed learning to a world language context. The site began as a collaborative project between CASLS and the Center for Educational Resoruces in Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL).
