Task-based second language learning game system

Abstract

In traditional English learning as a second language, learners rarely have the opportunity to practice oral communication, so the acquisition of oral proficiency is a slow process. In this paper, we propose a task-based second language learning game system. The task-based learning method enables learners to obtain communicative skills through the practice of particular "missions" using voice and gesture communications with life-size 3D game character. © 2009 Springer.
