dc.description.abstract	Este proyecto abarca la necesidad de mejorar el aprendizaje de vocabulario en inglés en los estudiantes mediante el uso de las narrativas de los videojuegos. Desarrollado con un enfoque cualitativo mediante un enfoque de investigación-acción usando el aprendizaje basado en tareas (TBL), se busca que los estudiantes mejoren la habilidad del vocabulario en el aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera usando los videojuegos como una herramienta que tiene el potencial para atraer su atención, exponer a los estudiantes a diferentes temáticas y contextos que componen la realidad del mundo físico o virtual, y permear de dinamismo a la metodología tradicional, brindando un nuevo valor al aula y una nueva herramienta para los docentes que busquen utilizar este recurso multimedia interactivo que rodea el diario vivir de los estudiantes.	spa

Developed with a qualitative approach through an action research framework using Task-Based Learning (TBL), it aims for students to improve their vocabulary skills in learning English as a foreign language by using video games as a tool that has the potential to catch their attention, expose students to different themes and contexts that build the reality of the physical or virtual world, and infuse dynamism into traditional methodology, bringing new value to the classroom and a new resource for teachers who seek to use this interactive multimedia source that surrounds students' daily lives.	eng
