Abstract—The tablet PC (TPC) is increasing in popularity and becoming more common for instructors to utilize (Stickel, 2009). The tablet PC (TPC) device can promote teaching and learning in students through interaction, collaboration, active learning, class engagement, and high-quality feedback (Klara, 2009; Steinweg, 2006). The background-knowledge language game helps students understand and enjoy game-based texts. A non-experimental, quantitative, SPSS 17.0 research design explores the relationship between background demographic characteristics, learning styles, class atmosphere, foreign language class anxiety, technology acceptance, and language proficiency. A sample survey of 250 higher education students was developed with six components.

Index Terms—Classroom environment, higher education, language learning game, learning styles, tablet PC, technology acceptance.
