Before relying on the evidence

Read these limits alongside the evidence when deciding whether to use the material.

Learner outcomes have not been established

No schools are using this product yet, and no learner outcome study has been completed. We are seeking schools for a proposed classroom pilot.

The figures describe the amount and formats of material and the browser test results. They do not establish an improvement in pupils’ English. There is no outcome study or baseline comparison.

Review age, level and curriculum fit separately

We measured the words used in the recordings, and they put the recorded speech at roughly CEFR A1 to A2. That is a measurement of the words in the recordings — not an assessment of the whole course, not an official alignment, and not a placement result for any learner.

We do not publish a curriculum alignment map. An honest one means an academic reviewer working through the material against the published descriptors, and we would rather do that with you, against your scheme of work, than publish a generic chart.

The material is written for young learners. No single age band fits every school, so which of your year groups it suits is a judgement for your academic team, looking at the real activities.

Browser checks do not establish teaching suitability

An automated browser test covered 821 activities. 525 loaded, ran and produced a screenshot without a console warning. 295 did so with a non-blocking console notice. Capture could not be completed for 1 activity, which remains unconfirmed.

The test confirms that an activity loads, runs and draws. Whether the instructions suit your learners and the activity earns its place in your scheme of work is a judgement for your academic team, on the real material.

Automated capture could not complete for 1 activity, which has no picture. Its playback remains unconfirmed.

What the pictures show

The pictures show each activity’s opening frame, captured automatically.

A complete, finished course library — the artwork, the recorded voices and the interactions are the ones the authors made. Nothing has been redrawn or re-recorded.
