helping learners with functional social language and the language of learning
to support learners with decoding the English script, leading on to teaching the first 2,000 high frequency words
to support learners with accessing the curriculum – primary and secondary – through curriculum content vocabulary and language structures
helping learners with the components of reading, allowing them to comprehend through images, and practise rehearsal of language with fluency exercises
The Islands is aimed at learners aged from 12 to 16 years. It has a different look and feel to The Village, to appeal to older users. The Islands builds on the learning from The Village to encompass more subject-specific language for the secondary level of education.
The Islands gives learners greater ownership over their learning, introducing them to self-study techniques and encouraging them to customise their own area of the site.
What should we teach?
Many of us have been in a situation where we want to communicate with someone who does not speak the same language. We resort to wild gestures, attempts to say unfamiliar words, grammar seems insignificant and feelings of frustration soar. Some basic vocabulary becomes our lifeline.
Despite legitimate claims that EAL students devote over half of their time to listening when functioning in English (Nunan, 1998), this is often not reflected in the time that we dedicate to the four main skills in the classroom. In fact, Nation (2009) states that listening is arguably the least understood and most overlooked of the four skills in language teaching.
Parental involvement in children’s education can take many forms and can be experienced differently by each parent. The benefits and advantages of parental involvement are unquestionable.
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.
The 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. |
