It has been shown that gaming is a very effective way of learning. Because the learner is playing a game or doing something they enjoy, they do not realise they are learning. Competition has also been shown to promote learning among groups of people. In games that have more of an emphasis on actual learning, people may compete to get the highest score and this competitiveness can increase time spent learning as people spend time trying to get the highest score.

I have been using Quizlet for many years now. I started using it in secondary school when I was learning French vocabulary. It is a great tool for this purpose as it has the ability to create flashcard sets and the option to play games that involve matching and writing words. I found it to be a big help in my language learning as it can also be downloaded as an app to use wherever you are.

I used to spend hours using Club Penguin when I was younger and would have never thought it could be used for language learning. It is an international game that allows you to communicate with other players through chats and messages. It allows you to meet people from other countries and practice your writing skills when chatting to other players from different countries.

Another game that is useful for this purpose is World of Warcraft. This game is a multi-player game in which players from all around the world can interact with each other. It is a game which may not seem to promote language learning at first but World of Warcraft allows users to practice their language skills while doing something they enjoy. There are many games like World of Warcraft available on PC and gaming consoles with the ability to chat with other players such as Fortnite or Call of Duty.

As part of this module, we looked at using games as tools for learning and for language learning specifically. We analysed what defines a game and how these aspects can be used for learning purposes. From looking at the different games that sometimes would not seem to be used for language learning purposes, I found that a lot of language learning skills are covered by these games such as reading, writing, listening and speaking.
