Grounded in educational theory, GO And Learn with Manchester City uses the ‘Accelerated Learning Cycle’ model developed by renowned educationalist Alistair Smith.
Based on cognitive science, this has been successfully used by the English FA and other organisations over the past 20 years.
‘’Science shows us how to improve the chances of recall through structured practice, spaced rehearsals and short tests,” commented Alistair Smith, Director of Learning, Mudita Sports.
“The GO And Learn App is a winner because it starts from an understanding of the process of learning. It links learning, fun and football.”
Nuria Tarre, Chief Marketing Officer for City Football Group, commented: “Last month, we launched our new Cityzens At Home website – a dedicated free, online resource allowing fans to remain close to the Club while we are apart during the COVID-19 outbreak.
“The ‘GO And Learn with Manchester City’ language app offers an another exciting resource for us to connect with our global fanbase and we hope it provides a fun and educational way to accelerate learning in these challenging times.”
GO And Learn with Manchester City is free to download on the App Store and will be available on Android soon, with additional languages added over the coming months.
Once fans have enjoyed their one-month free trial they will automatically enroll into the paid monthly subscription of £3.99 a month.
The app will send notifications to alert users that they are approaching the end of the free period and they can unsubscribe at that point should they wish.
