VIDEO GAMES INFLUNCE IN LEARNING ENGLISH

Research in this field In Finland students improve their grades in the English subject, just for playing video games.

The research done by the University of Helsinki with high school students, revealed that students who play 15 hours a week have an average grade of 8,79; while the average of those who do not play is 7,28.

Why video games enhance English learning? READING: It's important to read carefully enough to get information that will help you solve the problems that are presented in the game.

LISTENING: You improve your understanding of spoken English (listening comprehension). You learn the correct pronunciation of English words and sounds.

How to take advantage of video games! Use a dictionary when playing. Write down the new words. Try to repeat the expressions you hear while playing. If you want to test yourself, try playing without subtitles.
