DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS: Tools and Technologies for Effective Classrooms
This article focuses on Free Online Video Games for ESL Students’ Language Skills
The online games that the author uses with students fall into several categories – escape the room, adventure, choose your own adventure, and hidden object. However, not all games that are labeled with those descriptions provide good language development experiences, and additional criteria. One, they must be both free and online but not require any downloading, as this can be problematic for school computers. Two, they must have no sexual content and, if there is any violence, in my judgment it’s at a level appropriate for teenagers. Lastly, the games must have a fair amount of English text shown and, ideally, spoken in the course of the game.
