I am looking for ideas and especially research, which links educational esports activities with ELA / first language acquisition / L1 teaching - e.g. focusing on curricular aspects of communication, toxic language, game design, critical literacy, game guides (paratexts) etc.
Hi, Thorkild Hanghøj
There is an interesting experiment among Iranian students using game-based learning: "Game-Based Tasks for Foreign Language Instruction: Perspectives on Young Learners' Vocabulary Acquisition" authored by Masoumeh Mehregan, which could provide you some valuable insights.
Please find the file attached.
Thanks for sharing. There is a vast research on using educational games for language learning. What I am looking for here, relates more specifically to esport activities - e.g. structured game activities involving Counter-Strike or League of Legends.
I think most of the vocab is learned through naming things or the theory of naming.Thus we make our kids learn language by showing them things and giving the names of these things to them in order to build up their vocab store. In your case, you can chose a game like chess for example and you can start asking for the chess figures' names.
