Miêu tả:This paper explores the use of a computer game to enhance second-lan-guage learner’s knowledge of technical vocabulary in their field of study. The aim of the study is to prove that an effective educational tool for lear-ning vocabulary does not necessarily have to present the target words in context or in a communicative way. This tool is not only innovative and entertaining but it also unquestionably reinforces the internaliza-tion of target lexical items by means of rote learning. The participants were eight fifth-year students of the Nursing major at the Universidad de Costa Rica in 2004 who were taking English for Nurses.
