Abstract

This article aims to present two activities to teach English as a Foreign Language created on the Kahoot digital learning platform and to analyze their potential for developing significant learning, as defined by Carl Rogers. The author understands this type of learning as based on the learner's needs and interests and as part of his/her personal life, involving feeling and cognitive aspects. Kahoot was used with the intention of inserting an interactive technological resource to teach English and makes use of gamification to engage users in learning this language. The activities analyzed here compose a didactic unit to teach how to describe famous people. They were taught in three six-minute classes for two students aged 10 and 15 and focused on describing physical and personality traits of two famous people chosen by the students. It was noticed that the proposal was adequate for the development of significant learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
