I'm Maeva Teurua, the first French elementary school teacher to use LEEG UP in my classroom since fall 2020. Passionate about innovative methods in education, LEEG UP immediately fascinated me when my friend Jimmy Tetuanui introduced me to the game series. I am really happy to observe how effectively students can learn English with LEEG UP. One of the great things about using LEEG UP in my class is that it helped build my students' confidence to the point that I started seeing them speaking more English inside and outside of the classroom. As a teacher I'm very amazed by these results. I'm also surprised at how much fun it is to practice the SP and QP targets I introduced. What's even more surprising is that they don't realize that they are learning . Like my colleagues who are also using LEEG UP with their students have told me, “I can't imagine myself teaching English without LEEG UP anymore.”

Shortly before I retired I saw Jimmy and Dan teaching English to high school students for the first time using a LEEG UP and what impressed me most was how much fun the students had while speaking English. I told Jimmy and Dan: "I wish a game like this existed when I was a student. I think my speaking skills would have improved faster and learning English would have been more fun.”
Feedback from parents using LEEG UP at home
Mother 1
"My family enjoys the games."
Mother 2
"My son and daughter could improve their English abilities. The games are well planned and they don't even notice they are improving their English skills."
Mother 3
"I could see how much progress my son makes by playing the games at home. My family enjoys the games."
Mother 4
“She taught her grandmother how to play the Chip Bingo game, and they played it together. Grandmother said this game is also good for elderly people to learn English with fun.”
Father
"My daughter who used to hate English now loves studying English with Chip Bingo."
Grandmother
"My grandson loves playing Chip Bingo. I can see his English improving day by day."
今回のプログラムで刺激を受けて英語をもっとやりたいと思うきっかけになったようで、大変有意義な時間となりました。
It was a very meaningful time and this program stimulated them (my kids) to want to study English more.
宿題も自分からやったり、こんなことした〜やらこうやってゲームするんだよ〜って教えてくれたり帰宅してから家族で、ゲームを楽しみました。
I did my homework on my own and I taught my family how to play the games and after returning home, I enjoyed playing games with my family.
