But if you think language-learning games for ELT aren't very good you must have missed the great games from Viva Lexico! The games are very motivating- fortunes can change suddenly - but its the content that is so remarkable. No other books or software teach you this sort of language. Hex Lex covers lexis: single word, phrases and context-sensitive items. The Trix Series caters for specialised language: Phrasal Verbs, Business English, English for Academic Study and now Trix for Connectors.There's no material out there to teach and practise all these essential items to make text cohere. A school in Oxford reports that students go into the Learning Centre before school starts to use these games! Hello
