ELMO INTERNATIONAL games are naturally aimed at training reading techniques. But they have to be regarded as games and not as additional exercices. For example : games periods will be separated from training periods. This is one of the conditions for the students to feel they are playing with ELMO INTERNATIONAL as with any computer game : the most important feature at the reading games, is not pedagogical, it is play. |
