Abstract
Technology and specially videogames have started to be considered an important tool in theprocess of Learning. Some authors proposed that they can be considered an useful tool in order to teach English to students. However, that statement is still in study.
In this paper, we present a study about “the influence of videogames in the process of learning English in first year secondary school students in Concepcion, Chile”. For that purpose, we review research about this topic and wedevelop a questionnaire through which, we will analyze the influence and levels of motivation that videogames generate in students. Besides, we will analyze and compare the marks students that play videogames with more frequency obtained to the marks of students who play videogames with less frequency. Finally, we will propose an educational proposal based on the videogame “the legend of Zelda”(Snes) to be used by teachers in the English classroom.
