A talk about my recent co-authored ELTJ paper on this question is now available from the research section of WWW.TESOLacademic.org

Personally, I'd prefer interactive Web games that offer learning grammar with fun. But one challenge is to make sure that there are no pop-ups or pics that are culturally inappropriate. Also, we should be cautious about issues like authorship, currency & accessibility. Apart from these challenges, I think learning grammar with fun and a lot of interactive activities and games is most desirable.
















Hi
This looks very interesting indeed. Thank you for posting your link. I look forward to reading more about your research in this area and to hearing what everybody has to say on this comparison. I think I would like to learn grammar via interactive web games only in short spurts, but I would personally prefer the good old-fashioned way of completing exercises on paper. I find I learn more effectively in this way.
