Our Targated Audience

We are especially interested in those gamers who would like to be able to join in multiplayer games with English speakers. Many of them have never thought of doing this and, hopefully, we can motivate them to give it a try.

If the gamers are skilled in a particular game, they can do this fairly quickly. They can use our content to find out what to expect, what kind of questions they are likely to be asked and what kind of information they need to share with teammates. They can also get a start in tuning their ears to the fast English they are likely to hear. Here, their game knowledge and playing skills will likely get them through even if they don’t understand much of what their teammates are saying Over time their English language skills are likely to improve dramatically and this has value far beyond the gaming community.

Hopefully, they will choose a game from our list, learn to play it and then join in games with native speakers. Or they will start following their favorite English-speaking gamers. We have a list for that as well

ENGLISH TEACHERS.

We’ll have a special blog entry for teachers, but here is a short preview.

Multiplayer video games give teachers an
opportunity to reach students who might otherwise not be interested in English.
Many of these learners are very skilled in the favorite games and they could
benefit by joining games with players from around the world. That gives them an
incentive to learn some English.

For other learners, playing with native speakers gives them a chance to experience “real” English which can be very different from the language used in the classroom. This can be a very good extracurricular activity where groups of students team up with a native or very fluent speakers of English.

There are thousands of in-game videos
available through YouTube or Twitch and this can be a rich source of teaching
material. Short clips can be used for listening comprehension practice, for
example. Our website has many of these.
