Class: Lower intermediate (B1), 13 young learners, age range 12-14.

Many of them resent having to come to language school, but you have found you can engage them if you make the lessons fun and interesting.

Fortnite – a pleasure or a problem?

Fortnite is an online video game made by a company called Epic Games. Players can fight enemies, collect materials and items, and make buildings. The
game has three different versions, known as 'modes'. The most popular mode is called ‘Battle Royale’. In a battle royale, players start with no items, and
collect weapons and other equipment as they play. Players try to remove other players and survive until the end of the game. A Battle Royale begins
with up to one hundred players. The last player left alive is the winner.

Fortnite is extremely popular. It came out in 2017 and now has hundreds of millions of players. And Epic Games has made hundreds of millions of
dollars. Celebrities, such as the rapper, Drake, play the Battle Royale mode. Other people have become celebrities because they play the game. Fortnite
is one of many video games which is played competitively as an ‘esport.’ In summer 2019, there was a lot of attention in the British media when the 15-
year-old schoolboy, Jaden Ashman, won the second prize in the first Fortnite World Cup. Jaden and his 21-year-old Dutch game partner, Dave Jong,
shared a prize of 2.25 million US dollars. Jaden's mother said she always tried to stop him wasting his time on the game.

, The company sells a lot of game-related products, such as branded clothes and action figures. Players can buy additional features for the game with
Fortnite’s own currency; ‘V-bucks,’ which they can earn as they play the game. A popular additional feature is silly dances for the characters. Many
people copy the game’s dances in real life. There are numerous videos of people doing these dances on YouTube and other websites.

There are concerns about Fortnite. Parents and teachers worry about how much time children spend playing the game when they should be doing
schoolwork. Some believe that it is addictive. Items in the game are bought with V-bucks, but V-bucks can be bought with real money. There are many
reports of children spending their parents’ money on the game without permission. Although the game is colourful and has a light-hearted style, some
adults feel that it is too violent for children. After all, the Battle Royale mode involves killing other player’s characters with guns and other weapons.
