We are an international and multidisciplinary network of researchers working with GAMing and LITeracies. Our goal is to promote high-quality research through open discussion, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and the dissemination of the work of the members.
Research perspectives include:

• Using, designing and analysing games in order to develop literacies at school
• Learning language through games – both inside and outside school contexts
• Understanding the multimodal literacies of video games and gaming practices
• Describing the ecology of paratexts around games – e.g. game journalism or fan fiction
• Mapping the language and dialogue involved in gaming
• Defining the characteristics of game literacy
• Encouraging inclusion of students through game-related literacy practices
• Studying relations between games, literacy and 21st century skills
• Developing new methodologies for studying games and literacy

The main activities of GAMLIT involve meeting together at internationally oriented conferences, seminars and workshops; sharing research through our Google Group, and creating opportunities for publishing.
