Rez World™ - The 3D Interactive Video Game that teaches YOUR Native language. Real Characters. Real Situations. Real Fun!

Customizable to your tribe's environment, language, culture and much more! REZ WORLD™ - THE GAME Thornton Media, Inc., the leaders in "Language tools for Indian Country", presents REZ WORLD™, the first fully-immersive 3-D Video Game that teaches Native languages. The game teaches spoken language and cultural knowledge. Students learn by playing fun, immersive 3D video games that simulate real life social communications. It involves "intelligent virtual humans" that recognize the trainee's speech, gestures and social behavior. The technology was developed by academic scientists and has been used successfully by language learners. Extensive testing by third-party researchers measured positive learning results (May 2007). Many users rated the 3D game more effective than traditional computer language courses. The game has lesson plans that teaches basic pronunciations, grammar, sentence structure and much more. This is a serious game, the methodology is there. In 2007, Alelo's Tactical Iraqi Language & Culture Training System won the Best Serious Game award at the Serious Games Showcase & Challenge hosted by the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC). The demonstartion prototype of "Rez World™ - The game" was unveiled at NIEA 2007 and became an instant hit! "This product makes me rethink language learning. It is no longer a chore like the other programs" said Brandon, a 15 year old attendee. "It reminds me of games like Sims that my daughter plays, except this teaches language, what a great idea!" said Mary, a language teacher. The demo was created with the Cherokee language.
