As a Chinese teacher of English to adult students, my concern is how may digital literacy help second language learning? If as Gee stated, computer games can improve learning, how can today’s learning theories help design content games? Or if they don’t, what principles or theories do? Since learning is a life-long journey, how may game-playing influence their learning or learning model in their whole life? I am more interested in longitudinal studies on game-playing vs. learning, though game-playing-related studies were not carried very long because of the short history of the existence of computer games.
I know not many questions can be answered in this short term, but they would remain interesting and gain my research priority in the future.
