What Educators Say

Although primarily designed as a resource for learners using EAL, Learning Village is an inclusive, engaging tool for all learners, including those with SEND. The resource is fun, vibrant and engaging, with sound pedagogical foundation and a focus on learning through use of images and dual coding. The programme is intuitive in functionality, and assessments allow learning to suit the individual learner â thereby promoting independence and confidence. There is also the option to adapt the resource, including the ability to remove some of the sensory input if needed.

The Learning Village is great. The children absolutely love it and I have to say Iâve 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 myÂ students and they loved exploring the village. The graphics are wonderful.
