American English

In mid-December Larry Ferlazzo informed about the fact that the US State Department had launched launched an online game and site for learning English.

The site, American English, offers links to the Voice Of America’s Learning English resources, where students can get books, songs and MP3 downloads to develop their English through the practice of the communicative skills and systems of the language.

In the game, Trace Effects, players interact and solve puzzles in a virtual world filled with diverse English-speaking characters. In the game, students take a dynamic journey through the United States, travelling to cultural locations like Kansas, New Orleans, the Grand Canyon, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

However, you have to download Unity Gameplayer, and also have to register to play it, though it is a very quick process to do so.
