      ab: Nowadays, students are no longer regarded as cyber immigrants, instead they are cyber natives who deserve technological use in many fields of study including learning English. In other words, the use of technological media is obligatory for English teachers. One of the newest, though not the most popular, forms of media applied in ELT is video game. Commonly, video game used in ELT is the offline ones, yet, today, online learning is also encouraged. Hence, MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) is seen as a promising medium to facilitate students in learning English online. In this plenary paper, the researchers conduct literature review of a fair amount of research about the implementation of MMORPG in ELT. The aims of this paper are to identify: (1) the advantages and disadvantages of MMORPG; (2) the procedures in implementing MMORPG; and (3) the obstacles in the implementation of MMORPG in ELT.
