Welcome to Tesolgames!
Keeping abreast of the latest in play and/or games research can be a daunting and difficult task.
With hopes of making the research task a little easier, we’ve collected links to some of the best academic journals in the world.
We offer links to journals that are focused on play and games (broadly defined) though you may also want to take a look at our links to journals that focus more on language teaching and linguistics or those that focus on education.
If you feel that we’re missing a journal or would like to add your own, please contact us and we’ll be happy to add it to the list.
