Gamified Teaching Strategies from the Perspective of Embodied Cognition Theory

Abstract

From the Perspective of Embodied Cognition Theory, cognitive processes are deeply intertwined with bodily interactions and sensory experiences. By integrating this theoretical perspective, the paper proposes a series of gamified teaching strategies. Kinesthetic learning activities, gesture-based learning, augmented reality (AR) environments, interactive storytelling, physical manipulatives, and virtual reality (VR) simulations are explored. These approaches aim to engage multiple sensory modalities and motor functions, fostering a holistic learning experience. The gamified teaching methodologies offers a promising pathway for enhancing educational outcomes. And it makes English teaching more engaging and effective for non-native English learners.
