This web site is based on the Channel 4 television series Hennings Haus. The site has been designed to enhance language learning in as fun a way as possible. It has not been designed as a full language course; instead the site concentrates on key areas such as family relationships, food, numbers, colours, directions and clothing. The games have been designed to complement the Scottish curriculum.
Audience
The material has been designed primarily for later primary pupils; but some of the games could be used to introduce or reinforce vocabulary for younger and older pupils too. Most of the games have three levels allowing for progression.
How the site works
The emphasis of the site is for users to have fun. Through the use of games, users have a visual, audio, and interactive experience in another language. Instructions are given in English so that users clearly understand what each game involves before they start playing. All the games can be used by individuals; however they could also be used for group work or indeed with a whole class. Translations of the vocabulary used in each game is contained within the Knowledge Area. There is also a text only version of this area.
Tokens
On completion of each game users will be awarded tokens; the number of tokens awarded will depend on how successfully the game has been played. Users can save their scores in their own token album.
