As we all know, old teaching techniques, such as course books and notebooks are not qualified enough to teach a subject effectively. As teachers, we cannot easily involve the students in the subject anymore. The real reason behind this situation is that students need something that makes them active, also something more attractive. To make them active, there are some teaching tools, which are also attractive because these tools keep up with their times, like Second Life.
Second Life is based on virtual reality. People can create an avatar and talk with the people about what they want. They can create a discourse community to improve the knowledge that they have. In addition, they can learn new things while comminuting with other people. Thanks to this platform, people can encounter problems, which require solutions. For the students, they can improve their English, gain new knowledge, and find new friends on this platform. Besides, if teachers teach something by using this platform, it increases students’ motivation and makes them more active because it will catch their attention more easily. In this way, they will be more successful and their knowledge will not vanish in their brain easily because they will learn while doing and seeing. This platform should be used by the teachers to make their students prosperous in every area of their life.
