LingoActive 2.0: Transforming Italian Grammar Learning through Interactive Play and Physical Exercise

In today’s fast-paced digital era, integrating education, physical activity, and entertainment is essential. Lingo Active 2.0 builds on the success of its award-winning predecessor, LingoActive 1.0 (Gold Medal, i-SPIKE 2023), by retaining its interactive, game-based approach while focusing more on fundamental Italian grammar, including nouns, plurals, and the verb “to be.” Designed for UiTM students in Basic Italian Level 1 (TIC401), the tool addresses common challenges in recalling grammar and vocabulary. A semester survey and exam results showed significant improvements: of 54 students, 85% scored A range (A+, A, A-), confirming its effectiveness. Players progress by answering grammar-based questions while performing physical exercises, creating a fun, holistic learning experience that strengthens both mind and body. Building on this success, future efforts for LingoActive 3.0 will focus on digitalizing the board game into a mobile application, making learning more accessible, trendy, and convenient while ensuring long-term engagement and language retention.
