Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) have been dramatically used in language education and identified in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) research as playing a central role in second language acquisition (SLA). This chapter addresses the integration of a commercially developed MMORPG Ragnarok Online into a language course as a basis for digital game-based language learning and reports on its effects on second language (L2) interaction. Thirty Thai learners of English who enrolled in a 15-week university language course were required to complete 18 face-to-face classroom lessons and six gameplay sessions. Learners' language use in both text and voice chats during gameplay was recorded and analysed to measure the effects of the game. The findings show that participating in MMORPG resulted in a significantly more considerable increase in L2 interaction that used a wider range of discourse functions compared with English interaction in the classroom. The authors discuss some of the theoretical and pedagogical implications of these findings.

Modern society requires specialists who are ready to act in a high-tech professional environment. The use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies is a key direction for the development of the professional sphere in the near future. The relevance of this study is due to the need to introduce these technologies in the field of foreign language education in universities to optimize the process of forming students' professional foreign language competence. The purpose of this article is to study and analyze the existing experience of using educational technologies of augmented and virtual reality in teaching a foreign language in Russia and abroad. Methodology and methods: the lack of a sufficient research base devoted directly to the experience of implementing AR and VR technologies in the process of teaching a foreign language to university students led to the choice of a comprehensive research methodology: theoretical analysis of scientific, pedagogical and methodological literature on the research topic, description and analysis of research results. As a result, the article analyzes the use of augmented and virtual reality technologies in teaching a foreign language, their purpose and functions. The possibility of using these technologies in the educational environment in order to visualize the educational material, supplement it with visual information technologies by reading the QR code with smartphones, tablets and other gadgets, increase motivation and interest in learning is shown. The advantages and disadvantages of augmented and virtual reality technologies are highlighted. It is concluded that educational AR and VR technologies have a huge potential for teaching a foreign language in universities, and many of their shortcomings will be eliminated in the coming years.

The article covers issues related to the psychology of KG Jung, namely with the transcendent function of the psyche. The basic concepts and provisions of the analytical approach of KG Jung are considered such as archetype, collective unconsciousness, player position, transcendence, transcendental function and others. The authors investigates such things as transcendent function of psyche as a necessary mental factor for the successful beginning and transference of the individuation process and relations between it and board role games. The article also pays attention to such an issue as the importance of creative activity manifestations for the normalization of the work of the transcendental function and the psyche as a whole. The phenomenon of board role games as manifestations of creative activity is considered. The study of the phenomenon of board role games and their possible connection with the state of the transcendent function of the psyche is considered due to the fact that board role games have gained significant popularity among young people. Peculiarities of game as a type of human activity and board role games in the process of transcendental function development of psyche are determined. The main types of role-playing games in general are named. Definitions of the basic concepts inherent in the subculture of board role-playing games today are given. The authors consider that during the board role-playing game, there is a violent activity of the collective unconscious archetypes, which in turn entails the need to use the transcendental function of the psyche of the players in order to become aware of these undefined mental contents. Based on the above, we can say that the article may be useful for professionals interested in the relationship of the Jungian approach with creative processes, namely its practical side, the importance of modern youth subcultures. Considering the results of the research, the conclusion was made that board role games are the factor in the development of the transcendental function of the psyche.

Role Playing Game

This chapter reports on movements toward de facto standards for role playing games in the freely accessible and configurable shared virtual environment of Second Life. All users can not only freely join, but also construct and implement role playing games of their own design. Consequently, new games are constantly emerging, and others either persisting or failing. The resulting body of practice has implications for business, technological, and social dimensions of computer games. To elucidate these implications, this chapter presents the case of the Role Play Nexus, a venue created for role playing game designers, managers, and players to share experiences, questions, resources, and proposals for sustainable ventures and communities in Second Life. Issues, controversies, and problems are identified, and solutions and recommendations discussed. Source material is drawn from transcripts of public lectures, discussions and demonstrations, from interviews, and from participant observation.
