The Product: Magazines Plus is an online English environment where 11-18 year-old language learners can use English for real, meaningful communication. Students use social networking to chat with other learners of their age and can share opinions on news stories written at their language level of English.
For over fifty years Mary Glasgow has published lively and engaging magazines for teenage language students. Magazines Plus brings their teen-focused language materials up to date for the twenty first century by making use of the collaborative and interactive capabilities of Web 2.0 to allow teenagers to use English for a real and rewarding purpose
Judge's comments: “I am particularly impressed with how the kids interact online. The general sense of the site is not about accurate use of language but using English just as a tool for young people to chat with each other”.
