games are often something that is frightening for the majority of parents throughout the world, not least in Indonesia. The problem for school children is that games can cause play addiction, games can cause children to forget to study or do assignments, games sometimes make children deviate from moral and religion, games can reduce socialization of children with their environment and so on. As a result, often times parents limit the time playing children’s online games.
Some of the benefits of the first online game are knowledge transfer. In online games there are many English vocabulary words that are sometimes poorly understood by children. To learn unknown vocabulary, children can develop several strategies such as guessing the vocabulary meaning as a whole, seeing vocabulary on google, asking friends or people who understand the vocabulary more and more.
The second benefit is motivation. Information presented in written or oral dialogue can also motivate children to learn English vocabulary that was previously poorly understood so children can focus on winning the game.
Learning foreign languages, especially English, can be done from any media. Various technologies today can be used to facilitate learning, one of which is online gaming.
