Jan Hofman has never scored less than 80% in an English test and his spoken English is amazing. But Jan hasn't had extra English classes at school and he hasn't read an English dictionary. In fact, Jan spends at least three hours a day playing a game online. What's his secret? Why is Jan so brilliant at English? His secret is TSL – Teen Second Life.
TSL is a virtual world for thirteen to seventeen-year-olds and it's free to join. In TSL, teenagers from around the world have their own avatar. Avatars can go shopping and spend money – 'Linden dollars' – in the shops. They can make friends and play sports. They can even join a band and play music!
How has TSL helped Jan Hofman to improve his English? 'There are a lot of places in TSL where you can improve your English,' explains Jan. 'The British Council has got a special island in TSL and I've spent most of my time there. They don't give English lessons, but there are games and competitions in English. I also like the Global Kids island, where I learn a lot about social and world problems, all in English. The best thing about TSL is simply chatting. I love messaging players from other countries. I think anyone who wants to practise their English should log on to TSL!'
