Wir bei Twinkl sind der Meinung, dass Lernen Spaß machen sollte, besonders wenn es um das Erlernen einer neuen Sprache geht. Eine Sprache zu lernen, ohne dabei Spaß zu haben, kann für jede*n Schüler*in oder Lernenden eine entmutigende Aufgabe sein, denn es besteht die Gefahr, dass die Motivation sinkt und das Selbstvertrauen verloren geht. Deshalb hat Twinkl ansprechende und kreative ESL-Ressourcen entwickelt, sodass das Englischlernen Spaß macht und Freude bereitet.
