It's September - you come in for your inset day, and find out that you have two new starters in your class. One is an English as an Additional Language (EAL) new arrival. What does this mean - for them and for you?
"New arrivals can be described as:

Schools often have a number of students who are not yet literate in English. Whilst this includes English-speaking children who are only just learning to read and write, it also covers other groups of learners, including:
'pre-literate' learners who come from an oral language tradition where there is no written form of the language. This can make the concepts of reading and writing very difficult to grasp.

The Learning Village continually assesses learner progress and tracks each learner’s engagement, success and challenges. The system provides teachers with an automatic breakdown of progress for each learner, with advice on the next steps.
Teachers can also use the integral Planner & Tracker tool for their own assessments and to plan future learning.
Learners learn through topics presented in images, audio and text. They practise through scaffolded matching, spelling, sentence-ordering exercises and games. They are assessed at the beginning and end, to track their learning and support their next steps.
The Learning Village is engaging, fun and immersive! Through practice games, learners build their knowledge step by step.
Every learner has different abilities – and every school has different needs. Teachers can easily search the Learning Village to find the lessons their learners need to focus on.
Teachers can use our dedicated tools to create their own lessons on the Learning Village – on any subject they wish! They can also make specific requests for further content and resources from the Learning Village team.
TThe Learning Village offers a blended learning experience, mixing online and offline learning. In addition to the online programme, we provide a wealth of offline resources – and the capacity for teachers to create their own.
Our aim is to keep teachers in the driving seat: they know their learners best and understand the environment in which they are working.
Our exciting, safe, multi-player game options let students revise learning by playing games against students in their own school – or in the 30+ countries in which the programme operates.
Learners make virtual friends as they progress through their learning journeys. Each friend provides a short comprehension exercise, to consolidate learning.
| The Learning Village is great. The children absolutely love it and I have to say I’ve been enjoying and learning as I go along. We had a Teaching and Learning Review at our school the other day and I used the Learning Village to demonstrate how we support our EAL pupils. [The consultants] seemed very impressed and actually spoke to the Local Authority Advisor about how well the Learning Village was being used at our school. |
| I really liked the sentence activities, it really stretched my students and I saw a marked improvement. Overall I love the concept of the Learning Village - making friends highly motivated my students and they loved exploring the village. The graphics are wonderful. |
| I see the children relaxed and happy when they are on the Learning Village. I can see that they are proud of their progress and feel a sense of achievement which they can share with others. I think that there are a lot of good EAL ‘games’ available but this is a comprehensive programme that can be integrated into any curriculum. |
