In this globalizing world, helping people to learn other languages effectively has a major role for their lives, careers, and world views. With the advances in technology, new opportunities occurred for enhancing and facilitating language learning. Earle (2002) stated that technologies enable education field to gain a new dimension which is moving from presenting information to problem solving activities by including new instructional experiences. This new dimension also increases students' interaction with the target subject. Technology usage in language education has a long history with different forms. Educators' interest towards using technology for facilitating language learning -especially the ones that realize the importance of computer usage in language education-increased. Especially in recent years, there is a common interest among researchers in using virtual worlds in computer assisted language learning and those studies revealed important results for the language education field.
