The practical significance of creating such games is that graduate school students gain practical skills that may be useful for participation in the "Startup as a Diploma" program. Furthermore, these findings may be utilized when compiling curricula, educational and methodological recommendations for mastering a foreign language for special purposes and related disciplines of master's programs for future educational psychologists.
