Rowan students act as if learning foreign language just a game

 

Egg Harbor Township residents Justine Nguyen and Daniel Ballard did more than study in their New Venture Development class at Rowan University. They also developed a new venture that won them first place and $5,000 in a competition at the school. 

 

The two developed a board game called Linguilistics, which helps teach children a second language. 

 

"We knew we wanted to do something that was educational but also fun," Ballard said. 

 

"So many children are studying a language now in elementary school," Nguyen said. 

 

They did some research and found there weren't a lot of language games geared toward young learners. They designed the board and developed a game in which students roll dice and collect flash cards with questions on them in both Spanish and English.
