Abstract

Games and mobile applications have become an important part of our lives. Games and mobile applications are very useful tools for both students and teachers in learning and teaching cultural values and intercultural communication. Well-designed games and applications can provide different perspectives, develop understanding and empathy of language learners towards differences, provide important contributions to learners in ensuring social justice. This chapter aims to evaluate two different digital games in terms of content, measurement, learning, and teaching. It also offers suggestions on how the analysed games can improve social justice, intercultural communication, and multilingual communication. The usability and effectiveness of the selected games are discussed over the existing literature. In addition, the chapter deals with the role and contributions of game-based applications in the development of intercultural communication.
