Abstract

Based on the current situation of English education in China, this paper explores the positive effects of combining English and history educational games, so as to improve students’ overall quality and motivation to learn, and develop their intercultural communication skills, creative awareness and independent learning ability. The quantitative research approach is applied in this study. A survey is carried out and it is found that most people learn English and history through teacher-led lessons, short videos and instant messaging software, and are willing to try a game that combines English and History. Based on this, an attempt is made to introduce a history-based educational game–Today in History–with English as the main language.
