Project description

The main function of the game is not to assign marks. It does, however, summarize correct answers, incorrect answers and two attempts during a game in a table format for the teacher. The game generates a certificate for the player, which can be printed out directly in the school. The game was developed on the basis of primary school standards from four European countries and is provided free of charge to all foreign language teachers and instructors.

Working with ovos on the Erasmus plus project “THE LANGUAGE MAGICIAN” was a very positive experience for the Goethe Institute London. Particularly noteworthy are the high level of focus on the customer, the quick response times and the reliable management of the tasks. Agreed-upon services were always completed on time.
