Imagine Island
Imagine Island is a children's television program designed to teach English as a second language (ESL) to younger children. Each episode features stories, songs, and focuses on one letter of the English alphabet. The show is based on Imagine Learning English, an ESL computer program created by Imagine Learning, Inc. a software company based in Provo, Utah.
==History==
Formed in 2004, Imagine Learning, Inc. developed Imagine Learning English, an English language software program. Employing research-based English teaching practices, the software acted like a human tutor, adapting to each child’s individual learning needs; it also gave feedback so teachers could see how the child was progressing. The aim of those at Imagine Learning, Inc. was to accelerate children's English language learning and give them the foundation they need to be able to speak fluent, accent-free English.
In early 2007, Imagine Learning, Inc. began developing the idea for a television program. Each episode would draw heavily from the Imagine Learning English software. Activities from the software would be tied together by a host who would also drive the narrative. A pilot was shot and presented to BYU Broadcasting, a division of Brigham Young University, also located in Provo, Utah. BYU Broadcasting had recently launched BYU Television International, and was searching for content in other languages, specifically Spanish and Portuguese.
An agreement was reached in late 2007; Imagine Learning, Inc. would produce 26 episodes of Imagine Island, and BYU Television International would begin airing them in 2008. Production commenced in February 2008, and wrapped in June 2008. The first episode of Imagine Island aired on July 5, 2008.
