Students like to play online games and some of them are found to be addicted
to certain online games. However, when ask about playing educational
games especially language games, the responses are not very encouraging.
For many, language games are for juvenile, and not suitable for college
level students like them. This study intends to show that language games are
relevant even to college level students. Several online games were developed
based on the learning outcomes of an undergraduate English language
course. The games were designed at different difficulty levels based on the
Bloom’s Taxonomy. 34 pre-degree students (7 males and 27 females) from
Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Negeri Sembilan participated in the
study. They were asked to try the games and give feedback on what they
think of the games. Results of the survey showed that the students were
motivated to play the games, and they believed that they could improve
their language skills by playing the games
