English Language Game Review

English language game review

Nowadays, we can gain many benefits by selecting and playing suitable game. Here is one of the website examples that offer online English language games and even more, you are able to download it as well. Just log on to this website,
www.english-online.org.uk as it offers more than 20 language games and you can either play it online or download.

Vocabulary, grammar and verbs are among of the aspects that include in these games. Each game is intended for specific level and skills. For instance, Frog Verbs is appropriate for the elementary students and it tests your irregular verbs. In this game, you need to get the frog across the pond by choosing the right lily for him to jump. If you click on the right lily with the correct past tense form of the verb, the frog will jump there. However, if it is wrong, the lily will sink and the snake will eat the frog.

Another game that I found interesting is The Grammar of Doom, which is an adventure game. This has been described as grammar mega game by the website and it includes ten games in one adventure.

This game is about you as an adventurer trying to find the secret to the mystical Temple of Doomed Grammar. There are ten rooms in the temple and each room is full of tricks and traps. You need to use your English Grammar and vocabulary to get through the rooms. Each room that you complete gives you one word of the password sentence that you need to finish the game. You need to read the instructions before you enter each room. This reading is a reading comprehension. Thus, you need to read in order to play this game.

It can be seen that all games in this website apply the computer-assisted language learning (CALL). The growth of Internet make computer act as tutor because these games are design to teach reading, grammar and vocabulary aspects. So, spare your time, visit this website, and try out the games! ☺
