Teaching English With Interactive Fiction

Computer-based interactive fiction offers teachers and students fresh and exciting ways to improve their thinking and reading. I hope that http://ifdb.tads.org/ will encourage teachers and kids to use this remarkable but largely ignored resource. New works of interactive fiction appear almost weekly, and many are suitable for use with students aged eleven through eighteen.
     
        I suggest you start with "The Sleeping Princess". 

     It is a very interesting game with unfailing good humour. This is actually the first IF game I wanted to complete. Though puzzles are simple they, in fact, motivate players to play. Your input commands are clear and sensible and without arrogance, and you have a great enthusiasm for everything you do.
     Also of note, this game adds to the joy of life and optimism. Some games may indeed be more pleasant to play, just as some seem more exciting and others nastier.
     All this game lacks is a romantic description for the last episode like kissing the beauty on the head. Will you be able to kiss the Sleeping Beauty?
