lt;p>The author of this book conducted different studies to investigate the potential of serious games for global education when used in EFL classrooms.

lt;p>In the last few years, global education has become a key concept within the TEFL domain, suggesting competences, topics, and methods that enable students to become responsible and knowledgeable participants in a globalized world. With the help of a triangulated blended learning study conducted in five different middle school EFL classes, and an additional small group study, the author investigates the potential of digital games that have an educational purpose, so called serious games, for global education when used in EFL scenarios. The results show a clear contribution of serious games to global education when used with EFL learners, leading to a reference model of digital game-based learning in the EFL classroom.

Claudia Mueller studied English and French at the University of Potsdam before passing her Second State Examination in Berlin. Prior to joining the Didactics Department at the TU Braunschweig, she worked as a teacher and lecturer at different institutions in California.
