Online games are becoming the most popular entertainment in modern societies. It has captivated people of different ages, especially the younger generations and it has been dramatically growing throughout the years. However, online games have negative images among Chinese traditional families and they are viewed with no educational value. Nonetheless, different studies have indicated that online games, such as the Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) have a good social and educational impact on students' language skills as these allow them to improve their communicative skills using digital spaces, especially the MMORPGs. Because of this, MMORPGs based-instruction becomes a new phenomenon and is regarded as an authentic and innovative form of pedagogy and gaining momentum in the field of English education, especially in the Chinese context. This article aims to analyze online games whether they can be authentic sources for learning and developing language and culture especially English communication skills.
