Many students don't get enough of two important parts of learning language; input and conversation practice. Gaming is one great way to get both of these in a fun way. The nature of gaming naturally draws your attention and gives you motivation. People naturally pay more attention to what is said while having great context clues even if the grammar or words are hard for them. You will be more engaged with the people you play with and the conversations will matter. Although gaming helps you to focus and concentrate, it is not stressful. It's just fun! The experience is a stark contrast from speaking tests and repetition practice of sentences from your textbook that have no meaning or purpose other than practice (boring, not engaging).

Wait though, what do I mean by gaming? Generally, in modern English, gaming refers to video games or some kind of table top gaming (card games, board games, TTRPGs). More and more the term is used to refer only to video games. For the purpose of language practice and learning, this concept can be applied to any kind of game including sports, party games like charades or children's games like hide and go seek. For those learning online, gaming really refers to video games or table top games that can be played socially over zoom or other such platforms.

As a teacher I enjoy playing TTRPGs with my students. Sometimes only with students and sometimes mixed with friends more fluent/native who just want to have fun. Video games are fun but, in my experience, you spend a lot more time just focusing on the controls and the game action, not speaking as much and often repeating just simple phrases and expressions as you play. For video gaming the real conversations tend to happen between actual play as you wait for loads or people to log on.  This can still be fun and you can learn language that way but I just find that with TTRPGs or tabletop games there is more dialogue and language used as part of playing the actual game and it is much easier to 'pause' play to just finish an idea or answer questions. As a teacher I am also able to give more targeted input about language use, explaining new words or helping with grammar questions as they arise naturally in the course of conversation related to play.

If you are new to tabletop gaming and/or have never even heard of TTRPGs, you might get hooked on a new hobby. TTRPGs can be a lifelong endeavor bringing endless fun. If you play in a 2nd language, it will be a great way to stay motivated and engaged constantly keeping your ability in the 2nd language fresh and improving. In TTRPGs you make and play characters. You get to act and play pretend. You can try out conversations that matter (in the game context) and really push the limits of your speaking ability without real life consequences or embarrassment. There's nothing else like it.
