English Maze

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The English Maze is an online English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) community website which was founded in 2002. It provides General English and Business English programs for non-native speakers in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa.

The English Maze has a strong reputation in the field of online learning, especially for English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) learning for teenagers and adults who need to improve their English. It is also well known for its cutting edge use of Macromedia Flash web technology. This technology allows learners of English to interact with the Internet through a series of online games and language-learning activities.

English Maze is an example of how languages can be learned online. It demonstrates the interactivity of online user technology, and how computers can - in certain circumstances - replace human teachers. [neutrality disputed]


English Maze also provides an insight into the 'future of eLearning', and how education may one day be delivered online. The site is one of the few examples of how true online user interactivity can be used for educational purposes.
