Abstract

Educational games have seen grown interest in recent years. At the same time, there has been interest in the research of hybrid media. Hybrid media is a combination of print and electronic media. In this paper we present a first study on the design of educational language games for hybrid media platform. Based on scenario interviews and supportive research, we present a design framework which can be used to aid the design of educational language games. For our study, we interviewed six elementary school teachers and 16 6^th grade students aging from 11 to 12 years. We also interviewed four study book authors and examined educational language games.
