Abstract

Game-based learning is a powerful instructional method to build students' sense of community and cultural awareness. Educators view game-based learning as one of effective pedagogy and learning principles. Therefore, integrating technology in the teaching process is an influential tool that spurs learners' academic achievements and awareness of the learning goals. Understanding intercultural sensitivity in digital classrooms needs the individuals' awareness of subjective and objective cultural dimensions to deepen this integration. Due to the current varieties of offered educational games, educators need to know each game's background, context, and the proper pedagogical approach. The chapter focuses on the impact of technological advancements on building learners' intercultural sensitivity using game-based learning, as an adult classroom instructional technique, toward a more humanistic approach. It proposes the educational approaches to designing, managing, and using games for learning development assurance.
