Learning Village

Marlborough Girls' College —

Learning Village is a programme for students who have English as a second language, or for those who have little or no English language skills. It's an accelerated learning program so that students have every opportunity to learn.

Students have written how the Learning Village has helped them during their time at MGC.

"Hello, I'm Ana, and I would like to talk about how learning English has gone. I feel like I understand more than before and I also feel like I know some words, and I have them memorised too. But when I say them, I'm a little afraid because I don't know if I'm going to say it correctly. On the one hand I feel that I have learned a little bit and practice has also helped me a little bit, but what I do have to do is talk more."

Ana Sofia Betancur Lopez (Colombia)

"These classes helped me develop my English further because I can study in my own time and according to my level of English. We practice reading, writing and speaking through videos, activities, games and random conversations."

Sara Hope Da Silva (Brazil)

"I like this class with few people since we can work better. I have learnt many words and cultural things from New Zealand. Learning Village teaches English with games and many other fun ways. I like so much this class."

Bianca Schiavi (Argentina)

"I've learned a lot from Learning Village because it's a game where you practice your listening, speaking and writing skills."
