Abstract

What is this? A guide to using the popular multiplayer game “Among Us” for teaching languages Why did you make it? Having played the game myself, I recognised its potential as a language learning tool and expect other teachers would appreciate a guide on how to use it. Who is it for? Teachers that would like to harness the social and cultural capital that students possess through knowledge of modern, online, multiplayer video games. What did you include? Post-play worksheets and a number of reasons explaining WHY a teacher may want to use such games in their context
