Abstract

Audio-visual is one of many learning media that may be utilized in language learning. Games are an example of audio-visual media, which is a means for transmitting information with both audio (sound) and visual (picture) characteristics. A3! is a visual novel game with a Japanese setting. The game includes a number of storylines, as well as Japanese audio. The objective of this research is to see if the A3! visual novel game can be used as an audio-visual learning media to motivate people to learn Japanese. Data was collected by interviewing and giving a questionnaire to A3! players from various backgrounds. According to the interviews, A3! visual novel game affects players’ language competence, with the following important points. First, the A3! visual novel game can increase players’ Japanese language skills for those who have not learned or are currently learning the language. Second, the variable that motivates players to learn more Japanese is a more profound curiosity about the visual, audio, story, and characterization of A3! visual novel game. From that conclusion, it can be said that audio-visual media is effective in being utilized in Japanese language learning.
