ELC-EWCC Student Activity: Chess Workshop

Chess is a game of strategic skills, which is fundamentally helpful in facilitating cognitive skills in players. There are a great deal of cases in which the combination of English education and chess has gained great success by teaching English-relevant skills in such a joyful way.
