The use of videogames in the foreign language (FL) classroom seems to be gradually increasing nowadays. TICs are making the lives of educators easier and their teaching methods more effective; these positive experiences make that researchers in this field are constantly introducing and developing new teaching methods and electronic applications. This paper explores the use of storyline-based videogames in the FL classroom in order to enhance students' learning process and their communication outcomes through interactive and engaging tasks that may raise their motivation. This paper is a literature review which concerns the use of supportive material in the field of foreign language learning and it suggests that videogames based on story-lines may be applied in the same way that traditional workbooks and e-workbooks have been used for several years. This proposal is addressed to teaching professionals interested in the use of videogames as well as to editorials of language teaching materials.
