Sažetak
This study examines learners’ perceptions of how much vocabulary they have acquired through video games; other aims of the study were to explore (1) whether exposure to video games is related to better grades, (2) time spent playing video games, (3) preference for English over Croatian in video games, (4) participants’ awareness of the vocabulary learned in video games, and (5) strategies participants employ while dealing with the language used in video games. It has been found that video games can have a profound effect on language learning, especially if they are used in combination with other activities. Video games alone might not be the appropriate tool for learning a language and its vocabulary, but combining video games with activities that use learners’ productive skills may prove very beneficial.
