The Language Magician
Assessment through gaming

The Language Magician

The computer game The Language Musicician was developed by ten European partners, led by the Goethe-Institut London, for schools and teachers, in order to test the language progress of pupils - through gaming, fun, adventure and magic! English, German, French, Italien and Spanish as a foreign language can be tested. The instructions, explanations and storyline are available in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. The teacher can change the language being tested and the instruction language for every session.

The storyline of the game centres on a young student magician striving to liberate his animal friends from the evil magician Winivil’s curse, which has transformed all animals into doorknockers. The pupils create their own magician-avatar before starting to play and will dive into a magic world of fun, excitement and full of surprises.
