Mini-games overview
Our overview documents list the mini-games currently available in French, German, and Spanish, and the grammatical structure(s) practised in each mini-game. The mini-games primarily use vocabulary taken from the NCELP Schemes of Work (SoW) and top-2000 most frequent words in each language. We have also indicated which NCELP SoW week(s) each mini-game maps to.
These documents will be updated each time a new mini-game is released.

Accessing Gaming Grammar
Research with Gaming Grammar
As well as supporting teaching and learning, Gaming Grammar will also help us to understand more about grammar learning. The Gaming Grammar team (which includes researchers from the University of York and University of Reading) will be analysing data from the game to better understand the effectiveness of this learning tool for supporting foreign language grammar learning. The research data will include players’ responses and response times while playing the game and information about players’ age, gender, and first language. Any data downloaded for research purposes will be pseudonymised by assigning each player a code number and no identifying information (e.g. names or email addresses) will be downloaded.
