The Polyglots are part of the Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) program, funded by the Australian Government Department of Education and Training and managed by Education Services Australia.
The Polyglots apps are a series of seven engaging play-based language learning apps that encourage preschool and kindergarten children to explore another language and culture. The Polyglots apps are aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework.
The Polyglots in the Town features places and activities commonly found in Australia. Children are encouraged to observe the environment and interact with it using familiar language from apps 1-6, and also new language introduced in this app. Chinese culture is represented in objects from earlier apps, and in new objects in the playspace and learning experiences.
