Abstract

We designed learning activity in which language learning was combined with physical exercise. Our participants applied new knowledge to solve real life problems in their local community. Walking around the community during the learning activity enabled participants to be physically active. We provided students with smart watches to support their learning and monitor physical activities. We aimed to explore (1) whether our learning activity supported by smart watches can be useful for learning, make it healthy, and bring positive emotions to students.
