Also, “English Conversation” is the most important in our language learning process. This research designed a digital game based auxiliary teaching application which focuses on the elementary school English learning courses that teach students a second language. This study adds game elements and voice recognition to the course material to invoke the interest of students and change the traditional teaching methods to become more interesting which in turn boosts motivation for learning. This study used the auxiliary teaching application to test 42 third grade students in a Taipei elementary school, using a questionnaire to discuss whether multiple game contents have improved the children’s learning motivation or not.
