Nintendo DS's are being introduced to junior high schools in Kyoto after an initial experiment showed that student's English scores improved dramatically after using Language based games, versus traditional textbooks.
This is nothing terribly new as far as educational software is concerned, but it's interesting that it's actually completely phasing out "traditional" learning methods as compared to a supplement. The software being used is Chuugaku Eitango Target 1800 DS, pictured above. More and more language software is becoming popular in Japan recently, especially with the sudden success of the TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) titles.
