Greetings from Language Empires! Although we are divided into many kingdoms we are united in helping all learners of language. Each empire helps you master an important element of communication. You will find the right words can often unlock many closed doors and open up even more opportunities.
Language Empires was developed by two Speech-Language Pathologists and it utilizes the ancient civilizations theme to guide you and your students on learning specific language targets. This application designed for elementary age students targets 8 goals: Answering how, why, and which questions, inferencing, vocabulary, predicting and figurative language, and sequencing.
With an eye catching interface, animations and colorful graphics, students will triumph in developing language skills in areas for success in school.

Here are the basics of game play:
Select the players to start the game and then place each player on their target empire. Each empire targets a different skills set. Up to five players can be selected and each player can visit one or more empires at the same time. The possibilities are endless! Some empires have levels that allow for customizing the level of difficulty within each target. Each location has 50 questions for a total of 400 questions in the entire app. This is a truly comprehensive application. Each question contains an image that provides the context for the questions being asked. As the students answer the questions correctly, they earn rewards. The rewards are saved and can be accessed at any time on each student’s profile.

Data Tracking:
As with all Smarty Ears apps, Language Empire offers detailed and visual data collection. A set of graphs provides immediate visual feedback on the student’s skill level attained and progress towards mastery of their goal. The date can be emailed, printed, or shared to other compatible applications such as iBooks or Pages.

Multiplayer: Play with up to 5 students at the same time
Data tracking capabilities – they can be emailed or saved on iBooks
Professional audio for each question
Settings can adjust app to meet student’s needs

Reviews

Great Language app
Daou_SLPA

This might be my favorite language app. I like that I can use for groups that are in different levels. My students enjoy the medieval theme and the point system. I highly recommend this app.


A go to app with older students
SLPD155

I use this app with my high school students. Before my students check their answers I have them explain their reasons for their choices. My students especially enjoy the vocabulary, why, inference and predicting sections. The data collection is perfect for IEP goal updates.


Kids love it
KLBong

I like that this app addresses lots of language skills while the kids think they are “playing on the iPad”. Nice range of skills addressed.


Needs expressive option
Mary Lu hu

This app is good but it would be nice if you could toggle between receptive—with choice of answers—and an expressive version with no answer choices on the page. Nice range of target areas and levels for each one.


Great app.

With so many math apps in the app store I was so happy to see this! Finally an app that helps teach and measure important language arts skills!


Great variety
Kristens22

This is a great app to use with older elementary students. It has a great variety of goals (predicting,sequencing,vocabulary...)it can be used with and the quick play option is great also.


Wonderful
bealdo2

Exactly what my son needed help with. It covered a lot of areas that he struggled with.


LOVE this one
rrvjean

I'm not sure who LOVES this app more the kids or me. It does a great job of targeting specific skill weaknesses. It is really great how the work remains the focus the entire time. The in app day collection is a must for me.


Love this app!
SLDiva

My students love this - the castle and the knights!


Excellent app
Aknight53

This app is perfect for my language impaired students, older but developmentally at a lower level. Content is exactly what I needed for targeting goals. Would love to see more like this!
