Learning Village is an invaluable tool for deaf learners with or without EAL. The use of image as the main language of instruction provides visual cues to support your learners.

Tip or Idea: Deaf learners may need to lip read or see speech physically modelled to support their understanding. Using our resources in an adult-led small group session and/or using the demo learner as a teaching tool can be very powerful for deaf learners.

Learning Village resource: Try using our printable resources in small group or pre-teaching sessions to support English language development across the curriculum. For example, our Plant and Animal Cells resource is great for supporting science learning!
