Mission U.S.

Mission U.S. is a game designed for both entertainment and language learning. I think it is even an innovative version of content based instruction! By playing the game, learners can absorb American history and the knowledge of language itself as well. Language teachers and instructors have spent years to try to figure out ways to blend language learning with fun and this game is one of the representatives. However, it has limitations, too.  Vocabulary in the game is somewhat outdated and history is not appealing for some learners. Furthermore, adults might find cartoons in it childish and boring. But, I still think with an revised and advanced edition, it can be a successful learning tool!
