This contribution aims to familiarize educators with the unique ways in which videogames convey meaning as a media form and to provide an instrument, based on videogame theory, that educators can easily employ in intermediate and advanced English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms to teach critical media literacy. In order to equip teachers with the skills needed to teach the critical media literacy of videogames, the author reviews relevant videogame theory, including Bogost’s procedural rhetoric (2008a) and Consalvo and Dutton’s (2006) holistic analysis. Important concepts from these schools of videogame criticism are combined with Freire’s (2010) notion of problematizing to create an instrument that can be productively employed by educators to teach students to be critical players of videogames. It is found that the approach offered bridges the gap between theory and student concerns, results in greater personalization on the part of students when they analyze videogames, and is able to help students raise emergent issues that the researcher could not anticipate. It is hoped that educators will share these emergent issues and continue the discussion.

This project attempts to measure how teachers in a TESOL graduate program practically employ technology to teach English for Academic Purposes (EAP). Determining how teachers in training employ technology in teaching is difficult as one first needs to determine an instrument that can track evidence of how teachers envision combining technology with teaching EAP concepts in their teaching environments. A teacher training activity that can also be used as an instrument to measure how teacher trainees use or envision using technology to teach is student generated teaching suggestions (SGTSs), an activity that asks teacher trainees to develop and post teaching suggestions related to weekly course readings to a Moodle forum. If the SGTSs relate to technology, this activity can also be used to develop and measure technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK). Utilizing a longitudinal research design, SGTSs that employed technology to teach EAP posted in a number of master’s in TESOL courses over a three-year period are presented and analyzed to determine how teacher trainees envisioned implementing technology in their teaching, the value of asking teachers to make SGTSs related to teaching with technology, the implications of their suggestions concerning teaching EAP with technology, and ways to improve the activity to better develop TPACK in student teachers.
