American English

The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs launched the new interactive website, American English.

The site is a resource center for teaching and learning about American English language and culture, and provides a variety of engaging materials and resources for teachers' professional development and for students in the classroom.

Both teachers and students will find new ways to practice English and learn more about the United States, including the interactive video game, Trace Effects, where users can learn English and explore American culture through puzzles, games, and adventures in an interactive world.
