This study explores the pedagogical use of "Astronautes Français Langue Seconde (Astronautes FLS)", a cooperative digital game, in second/foreign language (L2) French teaching. It has two goals: (1) to introduce "Astronautes FLS" and its conceptualization, and (2) to report the results of a feasibility study in which we examined the pedagogical viability of the game as well as learners' perceptions of the game, across two proficiency groups. The results of the feasibility study suggest that the game is positively perceived by the participants in many factors known to contribute to language learning (e.g. it increased their motivation to learn).
