Parenthetically, English teachers in Finland have been happy with how
teenage boys' English grades have gone up with the advent of online
gaming.
High school boys get more top scores in English than girls. According
to a recent master's thesis, the most important causal factor for the
boys' success is spending a lot of time playing computer games. An
English language professor wants to raise awareness about the role of
games for language skills.
