This presentation reports findings from a case study exploring a collaborative creative writing project aimed at increasing writing motivation and task engagement. In small groups, students created gamebooks (approx. 1000-1500 words) in the Choose Your Own Adventure style using Google Slides. Results showed increased motivation and engagement with the writing task while also attaining the language learning targets of a first-year EFL writing course. Educators will learn practical steps for creating gamebooks using Google Slides.
