MindGame is a virtual boardgame which combines language learning with pure strategy. Learners can play against each other or against the computer: the object of the game is to capture all your opponent's pieces and make them your own. To capture each piece you have to answer a language question.
Each session has a different theme, ranging from familiar vocabulary and grammar areas such as irregular simple past forms, to homophones, anagrams and chatroom slang. As students capture, lose and recapture squares, questions are repeated, and this is remarkably effective in helping them learn the language items, and become more confident.
