“…Furthermore, the excitement of gameplay and the curiosity for proceeding to higher steps of the game motivates students to improve their gameplay and encourages them to think about concepts and try to solve the problems (Li & Tsai, 2013). Demirbilek and Tamer (2010) reported that emotional and motivational features of computer games encourage students to participate in official and non-official activities. It could be said, therefore, that multimedia video games are able to motivate inactive students to actively participate in educational programs.…”

The inability of English language learners to recall English concepts is a major challenge faced by teachers. This paper aims to determine the effectiveness of video educational games with a linguistic approach in English language education of the 2nd grade high school students. This is an applied and quasi-experimental study conducted in 2016. For the purpose of this study, we divided the participants into test and control groups and omitted the impacts of covariate (pretest scores measured before execution of any test on the learners). The statistical population consists of 90 students, divided into three groups each consisting of 30 students. Due to the long process of the research, we used availability sampling method in order to minimize the drop in the number of participants. The data was analyzed by SPSS and ANCOVA. The results of this study confirmed that a significant difference exists between English language recalling ability of 2nd grade high school students in test and control groups who are provided with video educational games with and without English language concepts respectively. We concluded that video educational games play an effective role in English language recalling ability of the students. Therefore, it is recommended that video educational games be used for enriching the leisure times of English learners.

Abstract!The last decade, researchers and educators have shown particular interest for the use of educational video games in mathematics education, in an effort to provide educational character to entertainment. In this paper we represent some of the most representative studies which evaluate the effects of video games on mathematics achievement as well as the improvement of memory, attention and cognitive skills. As indicated by the studies, video games may constitute useful tools in mathematics education as they support children's comprehension on fundamental concepts, but also motivate them to see positively the course of mathematics.

“…For mathematic teachers, educational games assist them in making mathematics entertaining and meaningful to students by allowing students to actively engage in customized scenarios from time to time rather than to receive information from teachers passively. Many teachers state that educational games have lowered students' negative attitudes towards studying mathematics, broken down learning barriers, and helped students correct some misconception [16]. Kebritchi, Hirumi and Bai's recent study on the mathematic game, Dimension M, indicates that students' grades in mathematic studies improved dramatically after playing the educational game, in comparison with their classmates who did not play the game [10].…”

This study explored the effects of using a role play game environment for elementary students to learn prime number concepts. The effects of learning strategy and level of prior knowledge on fifth-grade students' learning of prime number concepts were examined. The results showed that (1) the exploratory RPG game-playing served as an effective educational tool for motivating learners and eliciting learning performance, and (2) students with high prior knowledge achieved better performance than those with low prior knowledge when learning from game-playing.
