Research abstract

Language Quest is a fun, inspiring and challenging introduction to the wonders of languages and cultures, through which students develop metalinguistic skills that enhance their ability to learn any language in the future. Students explore the languages of Australia, Mexico, Egypt, and China in the interactive Adventure Quests, build cognitive skills in the Brain Games, and reinforce their skills with Collectible Cards. During these adventures, a student will use new language skills to connect with local children, sell food from a market stall, solve writing puzzles in unfamiliar scripts, decipher messages hidden in recordings, and perform a wide variety of engaging tasks, all while building their brain’s ability to acquire, retain, and use foreign languages. The Language Quest program will include teacher training materials, lesson plans, activity guides, and an online community for teacher support. The program is based on established theory and is backed by a strong team with expertise in game-based learning, second language acquisition, and game development
