English as an Additional Language (EAL) for Ages 11-16 - Workbook 3 (Developing Competence)

Useful for EAL students

Excellent book, easy to understand and with many explanations and exercises. I purchased it for myself because I wanted something that explained in detail to better understand the English language. It comes with QR code in the lessons which is very interesting because we have the opportunity to listen too to improve even more. To access it is easy, you just need to follow the instructions that are in the boxes on the side with the arrow pointing to the QR Code. Note: I highly recommend this.

The books was packaged in standard Amazon packaging. The book supplied for review cover was dented and looked pre-used. The book is A4 in size and nicely illustrated inside with lots of colourful pictures. The books covers Nouns, Adjectives and Adverbs, Verbs, Prepositions, Reading Comprehension, Maths Language, Nouns, Adjectives and Adverbs, Verbs, Prepositions, Reading Comprehension, Maths Language, Using a Dictionary, Subject Language and Verb Tables. It has lots of questions and space for the child to write in the answer. It is useful for anyone home schooling or for a teacher supporting in the classroom. It is designed for 11-16 years olds learning English as a second language. There is audio supplied with the book via the detailed website. I hope you find my review useful. Thanks

First, you need to understand that these books are a useful support and addition to tuition or a proper course of study, NOT a replacement. Make no mistake. However, once you understand that, it is a very well designed and useful set of books. This one builds on the previous two, so do NOT start with this one. Find the other two first. This time around, students move on to more complex ideas:comparatives and superlatives, irregular past tense verb families, past participles, irregular verbs. It gives additional subject language for Design and Technology, Maths, Geography, History and the Sciences. It is a phonics based programme, so the SOUND of words is clearly essential. The clever thing is that this book includes free online audio, which is absolutely essential. Worth every penny ! If used properly. N.B. the book itself states ,students will need help reading the instructions. Don't just give this book to the child. They will really struggle. But working with them,it will be really useful.

For a class on ELL certification, I had to buy this. It provided helpful advice for working with the rising number of English language learners in public schools. Some of my classmates ordered their books from another source, but they didn't get them in time for our fast-paced program. Even though English Learners have it "a little" harder than non-ELs, I never imagined that if they struggle on a standardized test like the SAT, their chances of getting into a good university would be affected. This may have an impact on their career path for the rest of their lives, which is a step further. Great for teachers who want to learn more about how to work with students of the English language.
