计算机语言学习游戏研究初探

Computer Language Learning Games & Edutainment

随着人们对信息技术的频繁使用，教学方式也在渐渐地发生着变化，计算机网络游戏逐渐成为驱动外语学习的一种新方式。本文认为专门为教育设计的游戏可以把游戏互动的优点与以技术为媒介的语言学习整合起来，并同时增加语言学习的愉快感，达到“寓教于乐”的目的。这就需要对目前计算机语言学习游戏的现状有一个透彻的了解。本文系统地阐述了计算机语言学习游戏的基本含义、特点、发展脉络、理论基础、实际应用、国内外研究现状及其存在的问题，并提出了建设性意见。

Electronic games have assumed an important place in the lives of students. Students acquire digital literacy informally, through play, but neither schools nor other educational institutions take sufficient account of this important aspect. This paper considers that multimedia design for training and education should combine the most powerful features of interactive multimedia design with the most effective principles of technologically-mediated learning. An examination of the evolution of the design of videogames is a good way to analyze the main contributions and characteristics of game-based learning environments. The paper also discusses the meaning and the features of computer serious games, its theory bases, its evolution and the main obstacles and challenges to the use of games for learning.
