Description
Summary:The present study aimed to report a new way to conduct a foreign language speaking class using a social deduction game Insider during the COVID-19 pandemic. Insider is a tabletop party game revolving solely around conversation, and its social deductive elements encourage players to use their L2 communicatively. The primary goal of the study was to develop oral fluency of simple question and it was sufficiently achieved. Also unexpectedly, learner agency and playful creativity were emergent in the class, which indicated a future possibility of game-based, or learning with games language class.
