The
name says it all. This is a game designed to boost
students' vocabulary levels by giving a definition
of a word, which they must type in the box. However,
they don't have time to sit and think for ever about
the word, because they're playing against the clock.
The quicker they can guess the word, the better the
score.
The
program is divided into six levels, from beginner
to advanced, and tests all parts of English vocabulary:
nouns, verbs, adjectives, phrasal verbs and idioms.
The
first time the game is played, students get a score
which corresponds to the number of seconds per definition.
The next time they aim to get more correct answers
in a quicker time. Before you know it, they'll have
learnt the definitions so well that they'll type the
correct word almost instantly. That means that they've
learnt 100 new pieces of vocabulary and had fun at
the same time. This program has 3,300 different items
of vocabulary on it - an average English language
coursebook covers approximately 500 vocabulary items.
