Second life provides a great opportunity for those who want to improve their foreign language. In Second life, there are thousands of people from every country. Users can experience real-life experiences in a virtual game. People who want to speak English can teleport to Britain and talk to people there and they can improve their languages. Also students can be more active because they will speak improvised. At the same time, students can learn not only by speaking, but also by listening and seeing thats why it would be more permanent. Thanks to the fun design, students can fun when they learn.
I think it is quite useful in terms of learning vocabulary. Because you dont have to memorize the meaning of the vocabulary. For example, in second life when we click the teleport, we can see the our avatar is flying to the target place in a short time. Thus we can guess the meaning of the vocabulary easily. I definetely think that virtually games should be used in foreign language education.
