Evaluation of the Early Learning Languages Australia trial

The Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) trial, which ran throughout 2015, was an Australian Government initiative that involved the development and use of language-based mobile applications for preschool children. The primary aim of the trial was to provide language exposure for preschool children, in order to encourage further language learning in later years of schooling, and to help address barriers to language education in the early years of education.

Deloitte Access Economics was engaged to conduct an evaluation of the ELLA trial, to consider whether it was appropriately designed and effective in achieving its objectives.
