Digitala spel i engelskundervisningen

Sammanfattning: The aim of this research review is to investigate how digital games can contribute to effective language learning; what attitudes teachers have toward digital games in language teaching; and what attitudes pupils have towards digital games in language teaching. This was answered in a literature review on the subjects in question retrieved through searches of scientific articles in databases. The results of the research reviews show that digital games contribute to effective language learning because they help in the development of many competences and can easily be adapted to the needs and level of pupils. The results also showed that teachers feel uncertainties and negative attitudes towards the use of digital games, while many pupils have more positive attitudes towards applying digital games in teaching. The conclusion of the research review shows that the effectiveness of learning is affected by the attitudes of teachers and pupils towards the use of digital games in teaching.
