More Details Coming Soon!
Workshop 1: Wednesday, June 19, 2024, time TBA
Title: Gameful L2 Design in Theory and Practice: "Lonely Planet"
- Organizers & Presenters: Camilla Zamboni, Wesleyan University, Alessia Caviglia, Università di Foggia
- Description: In this workshop, we will focus on connecting theory and practice while exploring a series of “gameful” design principles for L2 pedagogical materials aimed at increasing engagement, agency, and meaningful L2 oral practice in our classrooms. We will outline key concepts of game-based learning and gamification that offer meaningful affordances for L2 acquisition, and we will then apply these concepts to existing or new activities from our classrooms. Participants will engage in practical activities to reflect on their teaching materials and practice how to make them more “gameful.”We will also discuss what Jonathon Reinhardt calls Game-Based L2TL – that is, creating games specifically designed for L2 Teaching and Learning (Reinhardt 2019), and we will discuss a specific example, a tabletop roleplaying game that we created for Italian L2 classrooms called Planétes – which is aimed at students at A2/B1 level (CEFR) and touches on topics of city life, interpersonal relations, travel, migration, prejudice, and reflection. Participants will receive a copy of the game text and will be able to ask questions about its classroom implementation.Workshop objectives:
- To discuss and present gameful approaches for L2 teaching and learning
- To explore and put into practice these approaches, working on existing or new activities in L2 classrooms
- To learn about a newly-created language learning tabletop roleplaying game project, Planétes, and discuss its potential implementation in our courses

What's the AATI listserv mentioned above and how do I sign up for it?
Please click here to sign up for the AATI listserv so you do not miss any news on the conference!
How do I find the AATI on social media?
AATI can be found on the following platforms:
When will the conference program be published?
The conference program will be published online in mid-late March. We expect that it will go through several revisions after the initial post. We will update it weekly as needed.
Once published, where can I find the conference program?
You will be able to find the conference program on the conference website. Once posted, you will be able to download the program and print it out to bring to the conference. You may also feel free to provide the link to your school or university as proof of your participation in the conference.
How do I get a copy of the conference program?
The conference program will be available online for download by conference participants. Alternatively, you may purchase a hard copy of the program to be picked up in Catania for $5 via the Excursions & Extras tab on this page.
Why isn’t AATI providing a copy of the program for each attendee?
As of 2024, the AATI Conference Committee has made the decision to hold conferences that are as environmentally friendly as possible. You can read more about this and the changes that you will see, here (coming soon). In addition, our host this year, L’Università per Stranieri di Perugia, is a Green Campus. You can read more about the university’s commitment to sustainability here.
Finally, while we are willing to print a program for you, for the small fee of $5, we will be donating the surplus of that fee (the difference between the fee and the cost to print and ship the program to Perugia) to a tree-planting charity chosen by the AATI-EC, in order to offset the carbon emissions produced by the production of paper and printing of the program.
Are there any pre-conference workshops this year and are they included in the fee?
Yes! There will be at least two pre-conference workshops this year. They will be announced as soon as possible. The pre-conference workshops will take place on Wednesday (June 19) afternoon.
Yes! The workshops are free and all are welcome! We only ask that you register for the workshops by June 1, 2024 so the organizers can plan ahead for your attendance and participation. As soon as the workshops are confirmed, a registration form will be available via this page.
Can I bring my friend, parent, colleague, etc. to the conference to watch my presentation?
In general, only registered and paid participants can attend the conference, however, we understand that on occasion, we all want to invite some personal VIPs to our sessions. Therefore, guests may attend one session for free. Beyond that, they should pay up front for a regular registration on the website.
Upon arrival, guests will be asked to check in and get a name tag, on which the number and location of the session they are attending, will be printed.
Where will the final banquet dinner be and how much will it cost?
Information about the final banquet dinner will be posted in early April.
I have specific dietary needs/issues.
