Cambridge ESOL’s Digital Marketing Manager Lorna Pedersen explains: “Learning English should be an enjoyable experience for children and this is what we've aimed for with Monkey Puzzles. We’ve packed in lots of mini games to ensure players have a fun and educational gaming experience that motivates them to want to learn more.”
Monkey Puzzles is the latest in a series of online learning initiatives from Cambridge ESOL.
Cambridge ESOL worked with award-winning social media gaming specialist Koko Games to design and develop Monkey Puzzles which is freely available for schools, teachers, exam centres and even bloggers to copy and embed within their own sites to encourage users to practice their English.
