Learners love to complain about how boring so many subjects they have to study are. “Why do I have to learn this anyway??? It’s so BOOOORING!” Or, “our English teacher was going on and on about grammar and I just don’t get it.”

Yet, ask them about the latest video games or hobby they are playing and their whole mood will change as they start going on and on about how many zombies they were able to kill or how they built an amazingly fast RC car in 3 hours.

Making learning fun is an art as much as it is a practice. It is a practice because it requires an innovative and effective approach to teach the learners well. It is an art because it sparks imagination and opens up creativity to make learning fun and fruitful.

At the LanguagePRESS we develop language study material based on the crossover concept - for example, English learning crossover video gaming, Chinese learning crossover remote control car racing...etc.

Learning and playing might appear to have nothing in common but you’d be surprised.
