Say “Hello!” to Real-World Practice for Real-Life Experiences
English is a global gateway, with approximately 1.5 billion people actively learning the language worldwide. In U.S. public schools alone, 5.3 million students speak English as a second language, requiring tailored instruction and social support to thrive academically and personally.
Many schools and districts are working to overcome resource gaps, a lack of tools for diverse languages, a need for differentiated support across language levels, limited access to professional development resources, and insufficient preparation to meet the social needs of a growing population. To empower schools and districts working with multilingual learners (MLLs), Britannica Education’s international language learning experts created Hello Britannica. This innovative new English language learning tool builds confidence and cultural awareness through interactive practice and self-paced activities.
Hello Britannica’s authentic, real-world applications provide learners with meaningful practice in real-life contexts and provide teachers with real-time data to support language acquisition.
