Abstract: As part of our teaching and research activities at a University School of Management, we have designed and integrated an original game-oriented learning set of activities based on tabletop role-playing games (TRPGs) into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses. Indeed, during three consecutive academic years (2019-2022), we have experimented using a fantasy TRPG with two distinct classes of 3rd-year (final-year) BSc Management students. Their engagement was particularly visible and they seemed to find it easier to speak English during these role-playing sessions.
