This master’s thesis focuses on how the use of games in the classroom is able to motivate students learning French as a foreign language. An experiment was conducted with Lao teenagers studying French in a non-French-speaking environment in order to gather research data on the subject. In the educational establishment where the experiment was held, the learning and the use of French language was not valued as important by a majority of students. This had a significant impact on their motivation to learn in class. In this context, my project consisted of designing educational materials with a strong focus on play activities in order to encourage and give students who did not seem motivated a passion for studying the French language. The process of designing these play activities started with a “gathering information” phase. This would comprise of the analysis of the academic institution’s needs by conducting a survey among the school’s French teachers and the students. These activities were designed accordingly in order to meet all the participants’ needs and were successfully tested in an FLE classroom setting.
