Learning Village (Village – Primary & Islands – Secondary)

Learning Village is a blended vocabulary, language structure and reading programme for EAL, low-level literacy and SEND learners from 6-11 and 12-16 years old. 

This interactive gamified and immersive format for learning provides carefully scaffolded survival language, phonics and spelling and academic language.

• help teachers understand where learners are experiencing challenges in English language learning and address those issues
• give teachers a snapshot of the learners’ English proficiency level in order to place them effectively into classes or learning environments 
• spot-check progress at key times of the year to ensure learners are making progress in their English proficiency level along a selected EAL continuum (recommended twice a year)
