Our team has developed a virtual reality (VR) videogame, ELLE the EndLess LEarner, designed to enhance second language acquisition (SLA). The game is an endless-runner style (the avatar is always in motion), which results in fast-paced, engaging gameplay that we predict will motivate learners to increase out-of-class vocabulary practice. Terms are added to the game database through a user-friendly website, and the flexible game design affords it much opportunity for research on a variety of elements influencing SLA including term types (visual, auditory, textual), learner study habits and platform preferences (the game is playable on a variety of VR, PC, and mobile devices).
