I would like to introduce a game as a tool of ESL class. Pollekes Blue Room Escape is a click type
room escape game created by Ruud for EscapeGames24. In this game, I was locked
in a blue room and tried to escape the blue room by finding and using items. There
were three spaces such as a living room with a sink, a front entrance and a computer
room and I had to solve puzzles to escape. While playing the game, the game provided
some instructions or hints. I played twice because the first
time, it took long time and actually, I could not complete the task. So, I
checked the walkthroughs before doing it the second time.
If I use this game in the class, I will teach
some vocabulary provided by the game like a balloon, a fishnet, and so on and
definitely it will be a good way for a speaking group work(three or four
members). Through this game, students would
be able to be exposed to various vocabulary and some instructions from the
game. Before starting the game, I will set the context to warm up the activity
and introduce some vocabulary they might not be familiar. Also, I will provide a
sheet of walkthroughs with a couple of sentences for the beginning part and
have students complete their own walkthroughs with their members. This will
allow students to practice speaking and writing to solve the task. During the game, I will walk
around and monitor their performance to check their understanding and how they are
doing the task. To motivate their participation more spontaneously, I will
provide some rewards to the winner who escapes the room the first or I will
limit the time to escape the room. After they finish the game, I will give the
walkthroughs to compare their own walkthroughs and collect their walkthroughs
to assess their performance. Also I can use walkthroughs as an assessment like
filling in the blanks to check their learning.
Performance Indicator - ESL.E.2-4.4.1.8:
