Enhancing English Proficiency in Korean Schoolchildren with Problematic Behaviors: Efficacy of Digital Game-Based Learning.

Language learning through computer games has been suggested to enhance language abilities compared with traditional learning methods. Training in language skills may also improve self-control and reduce problematic behaviors in children and adolescents. We hypothesized that computer game-based language training could be more effective than classical language instruction.

The Effectiveness of Game Coding Education on Problematic Internet Gaming.

Objective: Problematic internet gaming in adolescents is associated with various negative outcomes, such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and attention problems. We hypothesized that game coding education, by improving adolescents' self-esteem, would be more effective than game literacy education in mitigating problematic internet gaming.

Methods: A total of 126 adolescents who voluntarily applied for the game coding education and game literacy education program of the "Visiting Game Class" project operated by the Game Cultural Foundation participated in this study.
