Abstract: | The aim of this proposal is to investigate how effective digital quest-based learning environments are in promoting the 4Cs skills (communication, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity) in 7th grade students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The primary objective is to target effective methods to use digital quests to improve the previously mentioned skills, and to provide teachers with practical insights and strategies to overcome and mitigate challenges that could be found when integrating this approach into their teaching practices. The methodology involves the application of a quest-based learning environment in a secondary school in Las Rozas, Madrid, aimed at 12-13 year-old students with A2 level English proficiency. The proposal takes advantage of the school's digital facilities to create an engaging and interactive learning experience. The anticipated outcomes suggest significant improvements in fostering students' motivation and promotion of the 4Cs skills. The proposal concludes that digital quest-based learning environments are valuable tools for English as a Foreign Language teachers, offering a practical and real framework that allows the integration of digital literacy and the 21 st century skills into language teaching and learning. Key recommendations include the need for constant updates and adaptation of digital tools to meet the ever-evolving needs of students and the educational system. |
