Abstract

Games-based learning is perceived by educationalists as a potentially highly motivational approach for learning and teaching at a supplementary level and is starting to be used more frequently at Primary Education (PE) and Secondary Education (SE) level. Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has also increased in popularity. CLIL is a bilingual educational approach where an additional language is used for the learning and teaching of both the language and the content and each are interwoven. This paper will discuss the development of a generic electronic Content and Language Integrated Learning (e-CLIL) Web2.0 games engine developed as part of the EU Comenius e-CLIL project by the University of the West of Scotland (UWS). The Web2.0 games engine directly answers the need for expanding, very quickly, the amount of content available (in any language) for teachers of CLIL. This paper will present an empirical evaluation of the piloting of the Web2.0 games engine. This paper will present both a student quantitative pilot evaluation consisting of 82 participants and a teacher quantitative pilot evaluation consisting of 18 participants of the e-CLIL Web2.0 games engine.
