更歡迎您參加 2019 的桌遊活動！在刺激好玩的遊戲中，不知不覺地強化英文思考速度和反應、累積說英文的自信，更可以輕鬆用英文搏感情，成為風靡全場社交達人。桌遊不只是桌遊，還是快樂和交流！

[後記] 2018 ebs Board Game Camp 桌遊不只是桌遊，更是快樂和交流！

2018八月，ebs 為學員舉辦英文桌遊夏令營，在刺激好玩的遊戲中，不知不覺地強化並提升英文直覺思考的速度和反應；藉由大量的英文互動，累積說英文的自信，熊熊燃燒對英語學習的動機及熱情！

在學校學期中，大部分時間被課程及考試填滿，孩子有機會做進一步思考時間不多、與同儕之間的互動也不多，在英文課堂中可能也無法享受學習語言的樂趣。學習語言最重要的不是考高分，而是感受到學習的樂趣以及意義，並維持對學習語言的興趣，進一步在課堂外自主學習，如此才能夠將語言學好。

ebs英文桌遊營，為孩子準備了玩桌遊、交朋友的平台，在密集的互動中，孩子學會團隊合作，發現別人優點同時也認識自己，在老師的引導下學習認真、專注傾聽、用英文表達自我。

孩子具愛玩的天性與學習的本能，玩的過程中能增加記憶，遊戲中會自然會磨練出許多獨特的技術與策略，老師僅在一旁適時提點，讓孩子們發揮創意、學習做決策並承擔結果。
