Digital and Non-Digital Games in Language Teaching and Learning: Integrating Play for Pedagogical Progress
Abstract
This chapter examines the role of digital and non-digital games in enhancing language teaching and learning through engagement, collaboration, and experiential practice. Grounded in constructivist and experiential learning theories, it explores how games create interactive, low-anxiety environments that foster communication, creativity, and learner autonomy. Using teacher and student questionnaires, the study investigates perceptions, practices, and challenges in implementing game-based learning. Findings indicate that both formats improve motivation, participation, and communicative competence, though barriers such as limited time, training, and infrastructural support persist. Non-digital games remain popular for their accessibility and focus on social interaction, while digital games offer adaptive, multimedia-rich experiences. The chapter argues for a blended approach that integrates the strengths of both formats, supported by institutional training and ready-made resources, to promote inclusive, effective, and sustainable language learning in contemporary classrooms.
