The tMundo World Contest - tMWC :: 2006 is an international online competition, now in its 2nd edition, that uses the game to provide teachers with an easy resource to complement their Foreign Language or Geography classes as they highly motivate their students by taking part in the game along with classes around the World.

This year, individual students can complete a printed map of Europe and do additional activities (charts, webquests, posters) using the material provided in the site under Resources and the teacher uses those activities, explained in a detailed lesson plan, to elicit conversations on geographical and cultural information. This way teachers can increase their students' vocabulary in the Foreign Language while engaging them in communicative sessions.

The culminating activity is a supervised session on-line when they have to complete the map of Europe in a Foreign Language of their choice within 20 minutes, individually and with no help. Results are automatically stored in a database. Primary school students up to 12 years of age can complete the map in their native language.

Registration will be open until February 28, 2006. Competition sessions will take place between March 1 and March 31, 2006. There will be 3 main prizes for the first, second and third places in the final individual standings (worth 100€, 70€ and 60€). A fourth 40€ prize will be awarded to a randomly chosen participant. Final results will be announced on April 5.
