Izzy: 我将分享三个通过玩游戏学习英语的案例,这些案例都来自我们团队成员。第一个案例是Humbert,他从小就开始玩游戏,从简单的冒险游戏到复杂的RPG游戏,逐步提升英语水平。他最初玩的是《猴岛》,他的父亲会帮他翻译游戏内容。后来他玩了《塞尔达传说》和《博德之门》,并通过MSN向美国亲戚询问游戏中的英语单词含义。Humbert 的故事说明,游戏能将玩家置于需要使用英语的场景中,从而提高英语学习效率。 第二个案例是我自己。我声称自己大部分英语词汇都来自视频游戏。例如,玩《模拟城市》让我学习了与城市、社会和政治相关的词汇,如“budget”和“employment rate”;玩《过山车大亨》让我学习了与商业相关的词汇,如“profit”、“advertisement”和“employee”;玩《模拟人生》让我学习了与房屋、建筑和社交相关的词汇。这些游戏让我在游戏中主动使用词汇,从而更好地掌握词汇。 第三个案例是Marcelo。他声称自己通过玩网络游戏提高了英语流利度。他最初玩的是《暗黑破坏神》,为了更好地玩游戏,他需要理解游戏中的英文术语,这促使他学习英语。后来他开始玩《魔兽世界》和《传奇》,在游戏中与其他玩家交流,进一步提高了他的英语水平。Marcelo 的故事说明,网络游戏能提供许多社交机会,并能提高英语口语能力。 Ethan: 我分享了我童年时期最喜欢的游戏——《口袋妖怪》。这款游戏让我与朋友们建立了联系,并让我学习了一些英语表达,例如“Gotta catch ‘em all”。这款游戏也让我体验到了游戏的乐趣,并让我对英语学习产生了兴趣。
