Japanese School uses portable video game to teach English

[dianne]

The portable video game Nintendo DS is now being used as a key player in education, breaking the traditional methods Japanese scholars use.
The students use the pen of plastic following the voice of the electronic "virtual teacher". And a big advantage is that the video game keeps teaching English at home because it’s portable.
I think it’s fun to be able to study while amusing but I don’t think it will spread. Imagine going to learn Italian in Italy or enrol in a Sprachreisen Brisbane and have a computer teaching you languages! For that you would study at home.
