Abstract
The value of language games has been embraced in language learning, yet it is crucial to evaluate these games and consider pedagogical mediations that may leverage their language learning potentials. Taking this need into consideration, this article reviews the once-a-day-only online word-guessing game, Wordle, by commenting on its design features and educational value. This review also offers some suggestions on maximizing the affordances of the game on learners’ and teachers’ sides.
期刊介绍：
The RELC Journal is a fully peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on language education. The aim of this Journal is to present information and ideas on theories, research, methods and materials related to language learning and teaching. Within this framework the Journal welcomes contributions in such areas of current enquiry as first and second language learning and teaching, language and culture, discourse analysis, language planning, language testing, multilingual education, stylistics, translation and information technology. The RELC Journal, therefore, is concerned with linguistics applied to education and contributions that have in mind the common professional concerns of both the practitioner and the researcher.
