Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
This paper explores the pedagogical potential of Gamestar Mechanic, a computer game where players learn the principles of game design by making, sharing and reviewing games in the context of an online community of designers. The game has been designed to foster the appropriation of complex language and literacy skills by middle school children. By relying on think aloud interviews and a discourse analytic framework, this paper explores the language practices germane to the game designer Discourse enacted by players as they tackle a game design challenge. |
