This paper presents the results of an ongoing study which has been carried out with a group of German Foreign Language students at the University of Cadiz since 2012. The purpose of the study was to analyze the impact of videogame-like applications on foreign language learning and their motivational potential to increase learning beyond the classroom. The paper presents the results of a comparative study of several learning tools: a videogame-like application, a J-CLIC application and several Paper-based learning materials and their impact on students' foreign language learning. All three applications were designed by us for the specific purpose of the present study and in line with our target students' language proficiency and needs. In order to measure the impact of each application on students' learning, we designed a four part pre- and post-test, which was filled in by each student once before using the application and twice after using it. Additionally, we gathered personal feedback from the users by giving them an anonymous questionnaire. [For full proceedings, see ED565044.]
