DOTA2, a future for English learner?

An article related to the English Language is explaining how to learn the language in an effective way. The article mentioned a few ways to learn it in its background study but it focuses more on playing game (DOTA2); as an alternative or optional choice in enhancing the English Language. The problem by using the game as an optional choice to learn a language is some students who had received English education through formal education will have anxiety and lack of motivation. Since they have no confidence in their ability, they will give less commitment during class and they do not enjoy the learning and teaching process. The next problem is regarding the strategy in learning. Learning strategy is student’s self – generated, thoughts and actions which are systematically oriented toward the attainment of the goals. Students feel uncomfortable and bored with the methods their teacher used to teach and some of the educators use traditional way in the language learning process. The third problem is the benefits of playing the game as a learning platform in learning English. The last problem is the struggles to use DOTA2 (game) in learning English.

The method used to address the problem is based on observation.

The big deal about the article is to identify the perception of high school students on the advantage of playing DOTA2 and challenges of using DOTA2 to practice English.

I think it is a creative method to teach English in the future. The students will have a new experience and making the learning and teaching process to be fun and productive. However, teachers need to keep their full attention to the students during the game session to keep the student focus and to achieve the learning objectives during the class.
