    I chose to focus on the game World of Warcraft for several reasons:
    
    

    • At the moment, it is by far the most popular MMORPG and has a truly international scope with dedicated servers in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
    • It allows for localization of the game into different languages.
    • The structure of the game is similar to most MMORPGs.

  Draws on research to suggests that MMORPGs are useful in TL acquisition b/c they are inherently contextualized, task-based, social, and require communication.
