Abstract
In the last few decades, computer-assisted language learning (CALL) researchers have been increasingly exploring the use of digital games for language learning. Games have been shown to foster both entertainment as well as means for learning affordances. However, the field maintains several limitations, especially regarding learner participation and barriers to entry. Watching gameplay is a recent phenomenon gaining considerable popularity among youth in the high school and university age brackets. In some instances, watching someone play a game rather than engaging in one has some theoretical advantages. Nevertheless, there has been almost no discourse on incorporating this new phenomenon into CALL. This study investigates how watching gameplay can circumvent some of the limitations of playing digital games for language learning.
