Cambridge English has created a new mobile app which allows language learners around the world to go head-to-head in an English language quiz.
Quiz your English has been created by the same experts in Cambridge who produce the popular IELTS test taken by 2.9 million people each year. Players can challenge their friends, or people from around the world through social media, to ‘quiz it out’ to see who comes out on top for their vocabulary and grammar skills. They get feedback on their performance and ranked on a global leaderboard, which has already clocked up thousands of players. The app allows players to organise rematches at the click of a button.
Geoff Stead, Director of Digital and New Product Development from Cambridge English said:
‘We thought we’d create a bit of healthy competition for the millions of English language learners looking for ways to build their skills. Quiz your English lets players battle it out with other learners around the world. Let’s face it, who doesn’t like a quiz? Gaming can really increase engagement and motivation and in this case it’s given us a perfect platform for helping learners practise and improve their English in a really fun way.’
Content is developed in line with Cambridge English’s globally recognised exams: First, First for Schools and IELTS. All content is at levels of B1–B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which is an international standard in language ability.
This app is designed for both Android and iOS. It’s free to download and play, with in-app purchases to download additional content.
