What is Learning Village?
The Learning Village is an award-winning blended EAL online blended vocabulary, language structure and reading programme for new to English, SEND and low level literacy learners. It supports induction to English, gap-filling and pre-teaching of vocabulary and language structures, for independent learning, small-group teaching and differentiation in class.
SEND and EAL learners of any language background use image as the language of instruction alongside text and audio to gain confidence in the components of reading including vocabulary and language structures, phonics, spelling, comprehension and fluency.
The programme is divided into two parts: The Village, for learners aged 6 to 12 years, and The Islands, for learners aged 12 to 16 years. so it supports both Primary and Secondary levels and can be used for independent learning, small group teaching and class differentiation.

Educational Impact
The Learning Village works best when using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge. It will work on other browsers too, but not optimally. The Learning Village learner experience is a webapp. That means that it is not available in the App Store, but the learner experience behaves like an app. The Learning Village Student Area is iPad-friendly. Please make sure you are running up-to-date software (iOS11 and above), as older versions do not support recording.
