Jane de Noord found Learning Village:

• Moderately improves attainment“Children with very little or no English soon acquire enough language to participate in class lessons.”
• Significantly increases student collaboration“Pre-teaching vocabulary with Learning Village builds confidence enabling children to communicate with their peers and contribute to discussions. The listen repeat, record function is a very useful tool which appeals to learners.”
• Moderately reduces attainment gap“If learners cannot speak the language of instruction, they cannot follow the curriculum. They have come to a new school in a different culture, where the sights and sounds are strange and often frightening for younger children. The Learning Village is easy to understand and navigate and has the advantage of teaching English while introducing curricular topics.”
• Moderately provides school data“Tracking the progress of learners throughout the school year is important.”
