Description

Aiming to facilitate efficient English learning and critical thinking training, English debate could be one of the most effective methods existing. It trains learners with the four core linguistic skills including reading, writing, listening, and speaking all in one go while giving learners exposure to a wide range of societal topics. However, given the fact that Hong Kong local students tend to be reluctant to participate in the activity due to low self-belief and stereotypical thinking - it dampers them from being proactive in English learning.

To alleviate the situation, The King’s Conundrum uses gamification in education and role play to make language learning fun and rewarding. Prior-to-execution primary and secondary research together with multiple rounds of user tests had been to prove the design to be effective in delivering its aims and objectives, solving its suggested design problems.
