한비[韓非]'s 100% Pure chat chat chat and chat!!

Using World of Warcraft and Other MMORPGs to Foster a Targeted, Social, and Cooperative Approach Toward Language Learning | Academic Commons  여기서 보면 알수있듯이 Bryant는 와우를 이용한 교육방안을 제시했다. 한비가 보는것은 브라이언트가 보는것과 약간 드리지만, 게임을 교육에 접목 시킬수 있다는 점은 비슷하다고 하겠다. 브라이언트는 학생이 게임을 통해서 써야만 하는 언어를 계속쓰게 되었고 독어 동사활용에 있어서 더 많은 좋은 영향을 보여줬다고 했다.

• At the moment, it is by far the most popular MMORPG and has a truly international scope with dedicated servers in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
• It allows for localization of the game into different languages.
• The structure of the game is similar to most MMORPGs.

이것이 브라이언트가 제시한 와우를 사용한다는 면이다. 1. 가장 잘알려진 mmorpg스타일 게임이고 미국 유럽 아시아 지역에 가장 잘알려져있다. 2. 다양한 언어를 접할수있다. (게임이 서비스된 나라별로 언어로 되어있으니까) 3. 게임의 구조가 대부분이 다른 mmorpg게임과 유사하다. 그리고 중요한점은 The social environment of Language-learning 이라는 것이다. 언어라는것은 교실안에서 선생-학생 사의 관계뿐만 아니라 사회의 일원으로써 목적을 가지고 움직일때 비롯 언어는 완선된다고 한다. 한비는 비고스키의 이론을 중요시 여긴다. 비고스키와 리언톨프는 인간이란 소샬적인 동물이여서 소샤을 통해서만 비로서 인간으로 발전할 수 있다고 한다. (1978) 현재 교실에서 부족한 점은 이런 소샬적인 부분이 아닌가 싶다. 선생-학생사이의 대화만 가지고 그리고 목적과 모티브가 다른 학생들 사이에서만 두고봤을때 언어의 발달은 지극히 언어적인지식 (단어, 구조, 문법 등등)에만 치주아지 않았나 싶다. Eng Ver. This is Bryants article about using WOW for language learning tool. I strongly agree with B with some side of his argument. if you check the link, it'll be noticeable, that the student is improving her verb use through chats and quest in the game. The gaming actually gives her the motive and the goal to actually improve or develop her language skills.

• At the moment, it is by far the most popular MMORPG and has a truly international scope with dedicated servers in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
• It allows for localization of the game into different languages.
• The structure of the game is similar to most MMORPGs.

These are the reasons that WOW was used rather than other online games. I do relize that wow is a good material to use in classrooms. However My point is that in classrooms the teacher-student relationship is so strongly binded that the teachers are to eager to teach and the student is eager to learn. The society, so called the 'real-world' is not constructed in this way. A more social place with interactions based on negotiation and purpose. The motive and the goal would diverse through students which is thought as to be a singular in classrooms. I believe we can achieve a high point range of language ability such as: grammar, structures and vocabulary in classrooms but without the social students will not easily face against the real world. The social factor is a crucial point where vygotsky and Leont'ev has emphasized on their work. Humans are social and only through social they can develop. (1978).

Turkle  article and Wenger's article  has similar aspects when coming to community.
Online gaming environments are the best community place for socializing.
Online game envrionments links people around the world, people with different culture backgrounds, different aspect of life point of view. A online place is where people gather up for similar interests, collaborate with one another.

For example, I'd like to introduce the game of World of Warcraft (WOW). This is a online game MMORPG style where over 50 million people around the world playes and serviced in 15 languages. People not only stay on the game sever to fight and complete quests to level up, the gaming environment also pushes the users to collaborate and conquer dungeons and others. In this situation people have to talk and work with each other to make the best out of it.

No man is an island, sort of suites this situation. In the game, people have to learn to talk and learn to work together. As a heavy online gamer myself, everytime I log-on, friends (online friends) people I know through game starts to talk with about my life and my interests, not only restricted with gaming issues.

When someone builds up a guild, people tend to get closer, and work better together. Sometimes people get together to meet up in real life, which is more fun sometimes.

However, my point here is that communities help to develop all sorts of aspects. My interest is in language, and language development could be observed in playing online gaming. Bryant article  shows that actually playing WOW, develops the language ability for users.

As Wenger notes, learning comes from all around not only from community but from practice, identity and meaning. People gather up in the online game to collaborate and through this development occurs.

However, i know this posting goes blah blah blah for here and there but, too bad, my prior posting went down the gutter with an error of the psu blog!
