SCRABBLE may be of less value as an English Language learning aid than most people believe, although you can learn a lot in the process of improving your game, albeit not in a very structured manner.
The point is, Scrabble is a word game, not a language game. It has been observed before that Scrabble is more mathematics than language, and expert players tend to have backgrounds in mathematics, computer science, actuarial science, engineering, architecture and music.
