Abstract

MMORPG have become a popular area of language acquisition research, raising the question of whether games and education can be effectively combined to create a game based on research that has education within its core yet still presents as an engaging gaming experience and provides a mutual learning platform for two languages. The current study is longitudinal and focuses on the question: Can interactive RPGs enhance second language acquisition?
