1 What about? Why?
Learners of second languages often do not have enough motivation to go on in their learning process.
But the same persons are highly motivated to work thru a computer game.

Combining these two observations means:

  • Presenting learning and training materials in form of visualized games.
  • Using the power of motivation to go beyond the game and its adventure.

    • 2 Questions
    Motivation
    Do VRML-visualized supports stimulate motivation of training?
    -> describing opinions, impressions

    Success
    Do VRML-visualized training modules improve success in L2 training?
    -> measuring gain, scores

    3 Ideas, cues
  • Fight the verbies (game)
    Envaders have to be eliminated by codewords (= verb patterns)
    - by hitting the right pattern displayed
    - by typing the right pattern
