Task-based language learning (TBLT) is not a new methodology. TBLT and CALL is also a maturing, well-established field of research. There are a number of studies concerned with language learning opportunities and affordances with MMORPGs (games) and social virtual worlds where World of Warcraft and Second life are the two most used domains (see Peterson, 2011; Rama et al., 2012; and Hayo & Wattana, 2011). However, the application of TBLT in virtual worlds and more importantly commercial online games remains a largely unexplored area. I would like to introduce my research proposal to explore the accuracy, complexity, and fluency of learners' verbal utterances when undertaking four different tasks, two designed to utilise the virtual world, and two more generic non-virtual world specific tasks. In this presentation I will introduce the game, its language-learning affordances and invite the audience to consider 1) attainable task types 2) the appropriateness of such tasks for beginner EFL learners.
