Abstract:
This article shows how to use an educational method to teach through a distraction game. Thus, it presents the main results of an exploratory study on the educational impacts on students in a high school located in Quebec, Canada and gives an idea of a theoretical method, which has been useful in practice and which may need to be developed in the near future for new generations of students. There are some questions, like, how can students learn something using video games. On the other hand, there is a unique or universal method to help them learn new languages more easily and less boring. Questions can be answered with researches and practices done in universities. This education style has some attempts and can be an advantageous solution to create new teaching methods for learning foreign languages, for example education methods with VR and its parallel technologies. To finish, it will carry out some tests and experiments around the world and will show how far the virtual reality market has increased today and how this technology is not only about an evolution but also about a revolution for education.
