Polskie Towarzystwo Badania Gier) being the first ludological association in Poland, and closely cooperating with the Institute of Applied Linguistics at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. The paper also summarises that cooperation and outlines the traditions of ludological research in glottodidactics and intercultural communication in the institute resulting in the recent foundation of the Center for Ludological Studies in Glottodidactics and Intercultural Communication and the foundation of the association's official journal "Homo Ludens".enLudologyGames researchGame studies in language pedagogyInstitute of Applied Linguistics AMUInstytut Lingwistyki Stosowanej UAMCenter for Ludological Studies in Glottodidactics and Intercultural Communication IAL AMUPracownia Badań Ludologicznych w Glottodydaktyce i Komunikacji Interkulturowej ILS UAMHomo LudensGames Research Association of PolandPolskie Towarzystwo Badania GierArtykuł
