Using virtual world to teach kids English
We founded 8D World a few years ago based on a very simple idea - we wanted to create an English learning virtual world as the "language environment" for ESL/EFL learners.
We have sinced created Wiz World Online (www.wizworldonline.com) – the world’s first virtual world dedicated for global English-as-second/foreign-language (ESL/EFL) learners to improve their communicative English in a highly motivating environment. Speech technologies, social activities, and gaming mechanics are all integrated into Wiz World Online.
Wiz World Online has been made available for the Chinese market and is growing around the world. The same concept can be used in the US for ESL learning (or learning of languages in general).
