The use of video games is present in the daily lives of people of different age groups and also in the school context through technologies such as cell phones. With the objective of associating activities through this digital media and the teaching of a foreign language, this work investigates the interaction through reading and the contributions that platform games can provide to students during the teaching-learning process of the English language. Through contributions from Kress (2010), Cope, Kalantzis (2008, 2009), New London Group (1996, 2000), Gee (2003), Machin (2007) and Pérez-Latorre et al. (2016) we approach the formation of the individual open to new knowledge and we are based on one of the four levels of the analysis model for the study of video games as texts: the ludo-narrative dimension. The results reveal that the interaction through the game as a pedagogical tool dialogue with other semiotic interfaces, providing a more critical and reflective posture in the textual composition of the game's narrative.
