This work-in-progress paper outlines the ways that cozy games are ideal genres for educational games, with an example created by the second author and several groups of computer science undergraduates titled, Anim-ELLE Crossing. The authors add specific pedagogical elements to Kalmpourtzis’s and Schell’s game design elements framework specific to the design of educational games teaching a second language (L2), also articulating the ways that the cozy elements of safety, abundance, and softness can be leveraged for L2 acquisition within the game design elements of mechanics, story, aesthetics, technology, and pedagogy.
