So what if there were some really good MFL games - and the way to score points is by learning words and making sentences in a foreign language? And what if the points enabled you to power a small car in a Race to Paris or Madrid? What would happen?
This underused technique can power your language learning At the weekend my 12 year old daughter took part in her first duathlon - swimming followed by a run. She is not a regular athlete (belonging to a club) but wanted to give it a try. On the way to the event she was telling me how she wasn't going to try that hard - just have fun and see how she does. Sasha and her friend running I watched her swim and then walked over to an adjacent field to be able to welcome her across the [...]
"Our academy based its teaching on the communicative approach and for this, the KLOO game is an amazing tool. Students build sentences easily and gain in confidence rapidly. Highly recommended!"
Games not just for the playing fields. They're important in the classroom too. They can play a hugely important and effective part in a child's education and have in-built advantages to many other educational materials.

Teaching some students a language can be a challenge For MFL teachers the aim is to get their students to learn a second language. Hook or by crook. It is natural then for teachers to want to explain why learning a language is so important. The problem is that, although learning a language bestows huge benefits on the learner, some students seem impervious to persuasion and are, well, just not interested - and no amount of persuasion will move them.

KLOO is perhaps the perfect travel game. It comes in handy sized, double decked packs and with each deck you can play 16 different games - the main difference being that you effortlessly learn a language as you play.

You will learn the words at least 200% faster because they are in context. That's really smart - and fun.
children with proficiency in a second language can expect to earn more, have more career options, be more creative and even enjoy mental health benefits?
learning a language bestows on the learner so many benefits - mental, social and even career - that it just makes a lot of sense whatever your age.
