Abstract
With the rapid development of the online games, the educational game has been demonstrated as a potential learning tool which can enhance learning motives [1]. Now the educational game represents a new interesting development in the field of education. In this paper, we first introduce the effective learning environment, flow, motivation (EFM) model which is a user-centered game design model, and then design the educational game for teaching Chinese as a foreign language based the EFM model’s idea. This educational game creates engaging and immersive learning experience for delivering learning outcomes, it attempts to provide a new study way and new study experience to the foreigners.
