To motivate our students, all we need are games, right? Well, our advice is you grab a cup of coffee,  sit tight and listen in to our guest Bruno Albuquerque as he makes the connection (or lack thereof) between games, gamifying a lesson and motivating students in the language classroom. Our talk dealt with the following issues:

1. The 5 CORE Elements of games
2. The differences between games and gamification teachers should be aware of
3. The drawbacks to the use of rewards in (language) learning contexts
4. The strategies that can be used when students shun the use of games in the classroom
5. The intrinsic challenges in motivating others
