App Profile: Polyglots: Circus

The Polyglots are part of the Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) program, funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment 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. Preschools set the apps to one language from a choice of Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Modern Greek, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese. The Polyglots apps are aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework.

The Polyglots at the Circus takes children into a magical space of performers and performance. Combining special lighting, music and costumes, the Polyglot performers entertain as children experience language related to body parts. This app also reinforces vocabulary included in the first four apps.
