Goal or Challenge:  Players advance by correctly speaking to and behaving with computer-generated, intelligent virtual humans.

Description:  Tactical Iraqi is a 3-D game where players learn Iraq language and cultural awareness by simulating real-life social communications involving spoken dialogs and cultural protocols.  Lessons focus on skills relevant to common, everyday situations and tasks.  Cultural awareness covers non-verbal gestures and norms of politeness and etiquette that are most critical to communicate successfully.
