Introduction
● Game successfully used for 5 years in a A1.1 level German language course at the University of Cadiz:– Each student has her own agenda
– She must record different activities in her agenda
– Activities have to be arranged jointly with other classmates
– Students interact by writing and sending short messages on small pieces of paper
Goals
● Can we improve this game with ITC?– Students' identities are anonymized
– Misunderstandings are automatically detected
– Scales for large groups
– Supervisors can monitor the process
– Can be used in class or out of class

Case study
● Students played the game 3 times (1 hour each game) during 5 weeks– Experimental group (app)
– Control group (paper version)
● Data collected– 1 pre-test and 4 post-tests
– TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) questionnaire
Preliminary results
Conclusions
● The game already worked well, but was enhanced:– Supervisors can monitor the learning process
● Anonymity => Communication solely in the target language
– Misunderstandings are checked
– Scales for large groups
● Future work:– Deeper analysis of the information:
● quantitative and qualitative interaction ● Behavioural patterns● Assessing specific competences
– Extend the game: unexpected restrictions during the game
