All source material is clearly acknowledged as and when it occurs in the references, as well as in the list of works cited. Luxembourg, 4th November 2017 2 Gilles Glod professeur-candidat au Lycée Technique de Bonnevoie Gamification: using game design and game elements in the EFL classroom Bonnevoie, 2017 3 Abstract Research objectives This thesis discusses the ways in which one of the basic human instincts – the urge to play – can be used in an EFL classroom to improve learners’ motivation, social skills and willingness to engage in language learning. My thesis focuses on three major aspects. First, in my lessons, I have implemented games as well as features that often form the core of games, such as rules of play, experience points, achievements, and the levelling up and customization of an avatar. The learners see their progress mirrored within the paradigm of role-playing games: their activities in the classroom inform the de- velopment of their in-game avatars and unlock real-life abilities and rewards. Second, I analyse which games and aspects of gamification are conducive to the creation of a ludic space. While the use of tablets is not the core focus of this thesis, I have worked with pedagogical and language-learning games designed for tablets as well as classroom games designed to use tablets as one of their central features.

  • Du Mutisme Au Dialogue
    École Nationale Supérieure Louis Lumière Promotion Son 2015 Du mutisme au dialogue Les interactions vocales dans le jeu vidéo Partie pratique : v0x Mémoire de fin d'étude Rédacteur : Charles MEYER Directeur interne: Thierry CODUYS Directrice externe : Isabelle BALLET Rapporteur : Claude GAZEAU Année universitaire 2014-2015 Mémoire soutenu le 15 juin 2015 Remerciements : Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement mes deux directeurs de mémoire pour leur implication, leur confiance et leur exigence. Je remercie tout particulièrement Nicolas GIDON, sans qui la réalisation de la partie pratique de ce mémoire aurait été plus chronophage et complexe.. Je remercie et salue Nicolas FOURNIER et Baptiste PALACIN, dont les travaux et la gentillesse ont été une source d'inspiration et de détermination. Je remercie également ma mère, ma tante, Jordy, Julien et Julien (n'en déplaise à Julien), Timothée et mes amis pour leur soutien indéfectible. Merci à madame VALOUR, monsieur COLLET, monsieur FARBRÈGES ainsi qu'à leurs élèves. Enfin, merci à From Software et à NetherRealm Studios pour leur jeux, qui auront été un défouloir bienvenu. Page 2 Résumé Ce mémoire de master a pour objet d'étude les interactions vocales dans le jeu vidéo. Cependant, il ne se limite pas à une étude historique de l'évolution de la vocalité au sein des jeux vidéo mais en propose une formalisation théorique autour de trois concepts essentiels : Mécanique, Narration et Immersion. De ces trois concepts découlent trois types de voix : les voix système, les voix narratives (linéaires et non- linéaires) et les voix d'ambiance. Dans le prolongement de cette étude et en s'appuyant sur les travaux menés dans le cadre des parties expérimentale et pratique de ce mémoire, ayant abouti à la réalisation d'un jeu vidéo basé sur l'analyse spectrale de la voix du joueur, v0x, nous proposons une extension de cette théorie de la vocalité vidéo-ludique afin d'intégrer l'inclusion de la voix du joueur au sein de ce cadre d'étude.
