Xbox boasts its education function

Producers of gaming consoles are clearly looking far beyond providing just games, as they include sport and education-related functions in their offerings.

Xbox has started working with New Oriental, a leading privately owned education group in China, on preschool educational products. Three applications developed by New Oriental were launched on Xbox consoles in late 2014.

Children aged between 2 and 8 will be able to learn English while using these applications. Instead of the traditional methods of learning which might be a little bit boring for children, the new apps, which look like games, will be able to help children pick up new words and knowledge while playing.
