Abstract
In this chapter, the authors discuss the Newby Chinese game-based learning (GBL) platform for group-based teaching of beginners Mandarin Chinese as a second language. Details are provided on the design of games within the platform, the pedagogical theories which they support, and the ways that theories of fun and teaching intersect to produce an effective learning experience which students actually enjoy. While aspects of the games within the platform have been designed to specifically support modern Chinese-learning pedagogy, the approaches taken and lessons learned should be useful for a range of GBL content. Newby Chinese has been used by thousands of students over the last three years, and its continued development has been informed by this practical experience.
