Abstract
Foreign Language teachers and teacher educators have many newer opportunities to use technology within teacher education. This study explores the influence of a popular video game Momotaro Dentetsu on the use of technology with Japanese language learning among university students studying Japanese as a foreign language (FL). Utilizing the Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) and the Model of Game-Based Learning (Plass et al., 2015), we employ mixed methods to examine how playing a digital game influences students’ motivation, vocabulary skills, and knowledge of culture and geographic regions. Data were collected before, during, and after students interacted with the game, employing pre-and post-tests for language acquisition, as well as interviews and observations to assess motivation.
