GAME-BASED LEARNING (GBL)
Research shows that game-based learning (i.e. using game elements to teach) is an effective method, leading to not only stronger motivation to learn, but also higher achievement. GEAR implements GBL by turning English language learning into a game where students earn points with each correct answer, which in turn leads to conquering countries and, eventually, the world.
