Abstract
This paper describes the development of an educational computer game that is based on the board game `Guess Who' and can be used as a tool for learning English. An initial version of the game has already been used from several educators. In view of this, the game has been extended to an upgraded version, which encompasses additional features and may be used by teachers as an authoring tool in order to create dynamically new languages and monitor students' progress concerning their level of knowledge on a specific language.
