The Interactive Email Writing Game is an innovation designed to address challenges faced in teaching writing among Year 6 ESL pupils. Many pupils struggle with structuring emails, applying appropriate tone, and developing ideas in writing. Traditional methods often rely heavily on rote learning and exam drills, leading to disengagement and low motivation. This innovation adopts gamification principles to make writing engaging and purposeful. Pupils progress through scaffolded stages: rearranging scrambled emails, rewriting a model email, and composing an original response. The innovation not only enhances writing proficiency but also fosters motivation, collaboration, and digital literacy. Teachers benefit from increased student participation, improved classroom management, and better opportunities for formative assessment.
