Abstract

Classroom teaching efficiency is influenced by a wide range of factors, including teaching strategies, classroom dynamics, and increasingly, the integration of technology. Among the technological tools available, video games have emerged as a compelling resource for fostering engaging and effective learning environments. This study aims to explore the role of video games in English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms, focusing on their potential to enhance language acquisition, improve teacher-student interactions, and create enjoyable and meaningful learning experiences. Using a questionnaire-based approach, this research examines how video games can be integrated into ESL teaching to support cross-cultural language learning. By analyzing the impact of video games on classroom dynamics and learning outcomes, this paper contributes to the growing body of literature on technology-enhanced language education. It underscores the importance of leveraging video games as tools for immersive and interactive learning.
