THE LANGUAGE MAGICIAN evaluates how well children are able to read, write and understand foreign languages in a playful way. The languages tested are English, German, Spanish, Italian and French as a foreign language. The exciting story about the evil magician Winivil, who turns farm animals into doorknockers, makes assessment a magical adventure. Language tasks become playful quests.

Led by the Goethe-Institute London, these partners contribute to the project: Department of Education of the Spanish Embassy in London, the Ministries of Education in the autonomous regions Rioja and Tenerife, Westminster and Leipzig University and University of Reading, the Universities for Foreigners Siena and Perugia and the Language Teachers' Association in the UK (ALL).

### 3/5 — Requires phone   of my school site to proceed

*2024-02-09*

Looks great. I do not feel comfortable providing my school site’s phone number as a requirement for registration. That sounds like a potential way for my employer to be bothered by companies trying to sell programs/products to them, and even if not, I don’t want them being bothered with a phone call. That’s intrusive.
