Thesis (M.A.)--The University of Toledo, 2016.

For most, the idea of using a video game to teach a class seems a bit outlandish; despite the advances made in the gaming industry, video games are generally viewed as not educational or for children. However, recent studies have been conducted that suggest using video games in an educational environment may actually be beneficial to students, specifically in the field of foreign language learning. This study examines the types of communications that can be facilitated through different types of video games; the video games used are League of Legends, a cooperative Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, and Super Smash Bros. Wii U, a competitive multiplayer home console game. This study also examines how ESL students previous experiences with video games and learning English may impact their communication in English. The results show that most communication in English was during cooperative gameplay, but the communication may suffer if the video game requires a large amount of background knowledge or experience.
